Not to get too political but it seems that social media, and the idea behind publishing every facet of your life to the world, has completely ruined this. It's terrible on both sides of the aisle. The ones that appear to be the loudest, and heard by the most people, are just the biggest blowhards out there. That seems to go for everything nowadays. Wish more people would subscribe to the "speak softly" mantra that many used to abide by.

On a lighter note, True Movie Stars. Maybe because they're from a bygone era, but gone are the days of actors like Charlton Heston, Kirk Douglas, Paul Newman.

Hell I'll throw another category in there, stars with actual talent. The actors in these musicals Hollywood comes out with now, can't hold a candle to guys like Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire.

Collaborative office spaces (often seen in Silicon Valley):

An open plan and other design features (e.g., high-traffic staircases) that encourage accidental interactions.
More common areas than are strictly necessary—multiple cafeterias, other places to read and work that encourage workers to leave confined offices.
Emphasis on areas that hold two or more people, rather than single-occupancy offices.
Purpose-free generic “thinking” areas in open-plan spaces, which encourage workers to do their thinking in the presence of other people, rather than alone.

I have a hard time believing anyone is designing office space like this anymore.

I had to don a gilly suit on Christmas Eve, so my neighbors couldn't see me going to my family gathering and report me to the SS.
