The pointless yearning of new money, the insulated senselessness of old. It was ever thus, "borne back ceaselessly into the past."
“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

And don't forget classics like:

- "Did you know that this thing happened at the same as this other thing"
- "A Long History Really Changes How We See This"
and, of course,
- "This Detail You Forgot in This Novel Is Actually Essential"

Writers, how do you use social media in your practice?

I think we can agree now that a new social media platform is no panacea. I'm hoping it's more than a placebo.
