Hot Take Of The Day: The only valid late night hosts are John Oliver and Conan. Everyone else belongs in the bottomless pits of hell.
تنها چیزی که میخوام بگم اینه که قدر چیزای خوبه زندگیتون رو بدونید. نمی خوام چرت و پرت انگیرشی بگم چون واقعا برای من که کار نمی کنه. ولی اگه چیزی توی روزتون باعث لبخندتون میشه، آگاهانه ازش لذت ببرید.
I hate that, stablishments like Christy's exist. The whole notion of making money out of art, without it reaching the artist directly (if alive), is revolting. Damn, what happend to "Art for art's sake."
This is particularly frustrating when the artifacts belong to Asian/African cultures: because these works were rarely bought. They were looted.
It just double breakes my heart when, for example, a Ming dynasty vase gets bought by a Chinese citizen from someone in Switzerland through Christy's, and they are so proud to bring back a piece of their heritage t back to its home. It's important to note that, this leads such establishments to gain profit two times over. Once: when looting the object and selling it to the west, and Twice: while selling the object back to the east. In conclusion, fuck them.

I'm just saying that perceiving people in black and white disassociates you from reality.
I remember when Steve Jobs died: people were handing out dates at Tehran University, some were even sobbing.
I couldn't believe my eyes. Steve was an asshole, There I said it, he enabled fraud in the company in the form of backdating stock, bullied employees into never leaving the company, escaped taxing, and whenever he was held accountable, he would throw a team member under the bus. Not to mention, the horrible work conditions of the Apple production companies in China: people would throw themselves out of the window to commit suicide. What did Steve do about it? Improve work conditions? Raise wages? Nope, he installed safety nets. Wow, just wow. That's why I can't stand people doting over him like he was a saint. People are not great because the media tells you too.

Same story with Ghandi, he was a racist. This is not a seceret, he has been very open about it. The dude legitimatly believed that black people of color were inferior to brown ones. Thus, he supported the apartheid in South Africa.
