Wally Hesseltine is just your average 72-year-old trying to run the Western States 100 in 30 hours (thanks, Al).
“Just look around you — at the people crouched over their phones as they walk the streets, or drive their cars, or walk their dogs, or play with their children. Observe yourself in line for coffee, or in a quick work break, or driving, or even just going to the bathroom. Visit an airport and see the sea of craned necks and dead eyes. We have gone from looking up and around to constantly looking down.”
—Andrew Sullivan, I Used to Be a Human Being
I kind of want Bill Wurtz to make history videos about every country after I watched the one about Japan.
Want to write a book (or just do some other type of creative project that requires some discipline) but you keep wondering how you’ll ever get it done? Chuck Wendig will fucking tell you how.
I’ve never met this guy Josh in person but I love what he does on greeting cards.

Thanks for the shoutout, my friend! We’ll meet one day.
OMG you need to put a special “cry warning” on things like the Wally video!
