Last Notes npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Very sorry to hear Bonnie Tyler died. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Americans feel SO entitled to challenge anything that doesn’t fit their idea of a norm. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Mom visiting and she hadn’t seen the Hoover Dam since she was a little kid in the ‘50s. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The real horror being that a cabinet secretary is conducting ‘prayer services’ at the Pentagon. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Don’t get me started on Disneyland—never cheap, but doable for most families when I was growing up without breaking the bank. In 1986, adult entry was $19 and $3 for parking—or, in 2026 dollars, $237 for a family of four. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m always wondering how anyone who isn’t very rich affords tickets to anything anymore. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg May Hungary be a bellwether for enough is finally enough. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m convinced Frank Lloyd Wright had a sadistic streak in his design. Architecture and furniture. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Its owner Anne Burnett Tandy—incredibly rich when she married the guy who founded Tandy—was serious about architecture. This commission was a few husbands earlier. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Stunning and rare house by IM Pei—one of only three he designed—is yours for just $22 million. Fort Worth, 19,000 square feet, built in 1969 and owned by just one family. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg RE: https://mstdn.social/@stux/116352696551815876 npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Always! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’d be great if a future Democratic president decided to unilaterally spend $1 billion a day on education, healthcare and housing because that’s apparently something the executive branch can do without anyone’s approval. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I keep waiting for some other country to preemptively invade the US on the grounds that Trump is a global threat who must be stopped. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Really making the point that it’s women who are too emotional to be president. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It boggles my mind when someone pretends to be a Rockefeller—or a family with a similarly well-documented family tree—especially in places real Rockefellers live/work/socialize. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg My god, it’s a gilded junk shop! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I don’t normally blame parents for a child’s criminal behavior—so many variables—but when all three of your sons made a second career of sexually assaulting women, I think Shlomy and Orly Alexander have something to answer for. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Imagine you raised three sons and they’re ALL rapists. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Realizing I should ask a follow-up question. Firm tofu? npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I appreciate it! Especially because I’m trying to be a good host! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Variations! Over-delivering for me! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Wow an actual recipe! Thanks! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I feel like this might be the right place to ask this question. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Personal injury is a huge industry in Vegas. Smiling schmucks like these are a big reason our insurance is insanely expensive. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg RIP Eric Dane. Such a lousy way and reason to die. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Hahaha oh my god they arrested Andrew on his birthday. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Gosh, relocation to a farmhouse on the King’s estate—about which Andrew was bitching so recently—might suddenly look really good compared to a jail cell. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Everything’s going great. Of course, Trump insists serial bankruptcies are smart business, so he’s just helping us all win. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Enough with the stupid fucking Jesus ads from people who despise his entire agenda. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Curious on this Saturday night about inebriation levels around here. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’d be tricky enough right now for Mette-Marit that it appears she gushed over Epstein almost as much as Sarah Ferguson. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Oh my god AT YOUR MOM’S HOUSE. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg At least Andrew can continue living on a king’s largesse. Prospects seem a lot more bleak for Sarah and her need to generate income through commercial ventures. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Good god, the amount of gushing Sarah did at Epstein—she and Andrew really were suited to each other, and they to the pedophile pimp. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Gosh, I didn't think of Diana Vreeland being THAT old in the '80s, and of course a lot of time has passed, but her son Frederick just now dying at the age of 98 is kind of messing with my sense of generations. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Flashing back to the morning after Trump’s first victory. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Powerful passage about the Minnesota resistance in an Atlantic piece by Adam Serwer. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The thing is—and I understand you’re using Trump as shorthand for the administration!—but I never credit him with any actual strategy. If that’s going on I have to think it’s really someone with that idea manipulating him. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Just waiting for Trump and his idiotically whim-based tariffs to include the US out of global trade. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Wow! That was pretty decent knowledge about relationships and voiceover work for a kid! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Tripping me out I’m five years older than Jack Cassidy was when he died. I thought he was so old when I was a little kid but he didn’t even make it to 50. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Starring Jack Cassidy—father of David and Shaun. Not even the same mother. A lot of Tiger Beat in those genes. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg If you’ve never seen the COLUMBO episode directed by Steven Spielberg when he was 24, check out ‘Murder by the Book’ (1971). npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg And also a moron! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Oh my god I’m drinking and repeating myself haha npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Yeah, I agree. Also so weird that he was already talking like that as a Jewish kid in Santa Monica in the ‘90s. Where I was a lot. Of all people and places and times. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg AMEN to this. And Stephen Miller. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ll remember everyone who played ball with this administration for their own craven purposes. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg This legit made me chuckle—THANK YOU I NEEDED THAT npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Even if the man ICE murdered today had a gun, so fucking what. Isn’t the GOP always insisting we should be able to carry guns anywhere we go—that more guns make us all safer? npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ve finally gotten used to the new Kia logo and no longer think I’m surrounded by intense Nine Inch Nails fans. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Interesting! And his father died so tragically and young. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The potential domino effect of treaties in Trump’s Greenland grab is making it feel rather like an Austrian archduke is visiting Sarajevo. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It continues to be my fondest hope that all the grace and mercy evangelicals have for others will be visited upon them tenfold. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Thanks! It was really distressing! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I'm still salty about the raddest tree that used to be in the middle of the street on my block. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Oh, wow, just learning Bob Weir's childhood house was just down the street from me when I lived ever-so-briefly in Silicon Valley. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg That weird feeling when you think collaborator opportunist Tony Dokoupil can go to hell but also, Christ, so can reactionary grifter Megyn Kelly for mocking him. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Further up Whittier here is where Ronni Chasen was gunned down in her car. I’m not at all a conspiracy theorist—generally—but I absolutely reject the BHPD’s incredibly convenient ‘solution.’ npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg A good time to say one of my favorite places to drink is JG on the roof of the Waldorf-Astoria right next to the Hilton where they host the Golden Globes. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Something I used to love on Golden Globe weekends was how they close Whittier Drive to most traffic—usually this is a very busy connector between Wilshire and Sunset—and so I’d wander over for a stroll like it was the olden days haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The most incredible thing about this story—to me—is that is was commissioned for a mall. Of all things. And in Flint, Michigan. Of all places. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg You know the wheels are really coming off of EVERYTHING when *National Geographic* pairs this headline with an image of Pasadena. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The massive CES influx begins. And I always feel bad for everyone who has to prep probably through the holidays for an event happening so soo. After the New Year. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I keep a bottle of chilled Moët ready so I can immediately toast whatever health problem takes Trump. I don’t feel bad about this though haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s hard to believe a place as reactionary as Huntington Beach commissioned a library from Neutra. And they’ve somewhat disfigured it since. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg TL:DR even if you’re just being cynical or pragmatic, be someone the bartender actually wants to chat with goddamnit. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg He’s the nicest guy. And you probably need to know him to understand how much he clearly hates a couple dudes down the bar who are being dickish without even the excuse of being that drunk. Like arguing with him about industry news he knows for fact because he knows the people involved. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Especially glad I tipped my bartender 100%—my you’re-working-a-holiday rate—as I learn he’s off at 4 and will miss out on the NYE bonanza. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg A funny thing about Paramount is that it splits a MASSIVE block with the Hollywood cemetery. (I refuse to call it by the idiotic late ‘90s rebrand Hollywood Forever.) npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Making me think of a Hollywood fun fact. The wife of its initial developer—who envisioned a religious community free from alcohol, pool halls and other vices—offered free land to any church that wanted it. All the show people must’ve been a huge shock haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg You might argue: What about Columbia? But I’d argue its small Sunset Gower lot was a Poverty Row holdover and the studio’s moment as a true major was relatively brief. Then really outsourcing and eventually rolled into Sony and moved to the old MGM lot in the ‘80s. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Random fact since it’s in the news: For almost a century, Paramount has been the only major studio with a lot that’s actually in Hollywood. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Met a gay couple tonight who are MAGA—racist as fuck—and I know of course that this can happen. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I couldn’t find Yukon Gold potatoes anywhere recently. A few shops had something sort of like them but not really. Turns out there’s a reason. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’ve been very on the record for over a decade as loathing Elon Musk. Now there’s this a stone’s throw from where I live. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Something I genuinely miss about living in LA is how often I’d see Angelyne in her pink Corvette. It seemed like impossible odds that—whether Malibu or Hollywood—I could so frequently be in the same place at the same time. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Finally saw the neighbor who goes with the sparkly hot pink Mercedes and she’s as blonde and bedazzled as I thought she had to be. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg So much talent it was insane! npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Reminds me peripherally of a fun bit Carol Burnett did with Madeline Kahn about stars of shows introducing guest stars as their very good friends. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg This is an extremely funny sentence. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Marjorie isn’t so tough after all haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The old joke that every day is Men’s Day. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Checking to see if Men’s Day is an actual thing and one of the first things Google highlights is npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The Code took effect in 1934. When Hollywood chose to censor itself as a means of preventing the US government from doing it for them. Under pressure from bigoted religious conservatives. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose, after all. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Something that really trips me out about early Hollywood is how many older actors either lived through the Civil War -- or came close to it. And certainly were alive for the actual Wild West era. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg The US is gonna start denying visas for obesity? Just get Trump’s doctor to write you a note. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Thinking back to when this Epstein stuff first surfaced and Clinton was the name being bandied about and every liberal I knew was like: I don’t give a fuck who it is, if anyone assaulted a girl TAKE HIM DOWN. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Recalling the compartment in the driver's door of a Rolls-Royce Corniche for your booze. Truly another time haha. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I am by nature an establishment guy. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I have to tell you, and yes I’m drunk, but if I were a Christian who thought I’d someday face Jesus, the idea of explaining why I took food out of the mouths of the poor ON PRINCIPLE? I’d be scared shitless. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m sentimentally attached to something called aprikoskrem—apricot cream—that’s insanely rich. Mom always made it for Granddad, the father-in-law she adored, because it was his favorite dessert. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I’m so sorry. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg These beautiful electoral results. I’ll just re-up this because BLISS. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg I happen to think you’re a total jerk if you want to stop the government from helping those in need regardless of what causes their need. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg No matter the specifics of ongoing humiliations, I’ll bet seeing himself referred to as ‘Mountbatten Windsor’ stings most of all. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg Okay, I’ve just learned my grandfather and his brother—both hard-partying midcentury doctors—gave each other vasectomies one drunken night on a dining room table. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg It’s ridiculous in a country where people spend a thousand dollars a month for shots that make them eat less that there’s even the slightest chance anyone might go hungry. npub12kjhdu42hqp2uh3flwlsfsp9k5nvk42mls8c3y72n4mhhr68w9uquk3x3f Mats Holberg AND! Something to consider the next time you're thinking about a nice meal out: When you dine at a José Andrés restaurant, you're supporting a spirit of noblesse oblige that doesn't exist almost anywhere else anymore.
