There are so many things to talk about between black people, Hispanic people, white people, gay people, men, women, it's all based on fear.

I visited Jobs for the last time in his Palo Alto, Calif., home. He had moved to a downstairs bedroom because he was too weak to go up and down stairs. He was curled up in some pain, but his mind was still sharp and his humor vibrant. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Conservative humor is frankly harder than liberal humor. You get points for just being liberal. You can get more points if you make fun of your own side sometimes. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I'm still looking for that. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Our ability to find humor in the world, to make connections between previously unconnected notions, to create new ideas, to share in a common culture: All these essentially human acts depend on memory. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
