Really, I’m jealous. I wish I felt as hopeful and pumped up as so many of my friends and family around the world are about the election of Zohran Mamdani. I wish I felt like you felt. I mean, yes, I voted for him and I am very glad he won but as many of you know, I have some complicated feelings about my state assembly representative and I just can’t share everyone’s enthusiasm.

Many of us weigh down our works with our hopes and dreams that this one will be the one that changes everything. We make something hoping THIS one will turn things around. THIS will be the project that changes our lives. We can’t just tend to our little art plant, hoping it will grow; we tremble, doing everything we can to make THIS be the thing that turns it all around.

It suddenly dawned on me that the image on the stairs was not an advertisement but part of the exhibition I was on my way to see. If I hadn’t known, I’d have thought they were ads for some kind of clothing line or vitamins or something. The images were lovely but the context troubled me. It continues to trouble me so I thought I better write about it to try and work out why.

Explicit due to "Shut. The F*ck. Up."
Usually, I skip the ads on a podcast but I think I had my hands full so I couldn’t hit the advance button on this one episode. I figured the ads would be over in a minute or two. But they just kept going. “Jesus!” I exclaimed, “How much money do you guys need?!”
Not long after, they uploaded a crossover episode in which they tried to solve the problem of how to ask for money.

It’s possible that I should stop listening to interviews with famous people. I have heard hundreds and hundreds of celebrities explain their successes and chart their journeys and I may have had my fill. All I can think of is those planes with the bullet holes and Survivorship Bias. Are they actually connected?
I started to think about those planes while listening to an interview with Christopher Guest on the WTF podcast.
