Honestly, I would love collations of the shorter notes provided here, e.g. details on the NY election. I have very little qualitative data on What People Are Saying, and even loose updates to that end would be valuable…especially because I am very infrequently on social media

RIGHT I forgot his name—good point about his MO though

I still think his shift is indicative. I get the sense that the 2010s culture war was driven by Millennials who are now in their 30s and increasingly are married with kids…which moderates woke/anti-woke tendencies

I’m reminded of that article about a white nationalist moving to the midwest, realizing he hated, and moderating his politics into something more forward-looking

So I’ve collected a LOT of beautiful objects across multiple domains that mostly elude notice until someone asks “Is that __?”

And I get to smile and say, “Yeah. U get it :)”

An addendum—the core idea in my head (that has translated into my dress overall) is that I’m a social butterfly.

I’m a civil servant, and an artist, and an athlete, and a serial rabbit-hole-explorer. I am a little bit of everything, but I won’t tell you that upfront.

I’m an amateur athlete from Boston, but I also have artistic tendencies and a penchant for “if u kno u kno”—by wearing these two pieces together, I _think_ I’ll be able to harmonize these ideas into a long-shot reference that’s still legible.

I’ll confirm when I try it :)

The idea I have in mind is pairing these pants: acrnm.com/P15-DS_FW2324

With this sweatshirt: www.tracksmith.com/products/m-t...

Tracksmith is Extremely Boston prep athletic gear, and Acronym is _the_ techwear brand

The fit will juxtapose two kinds of niche athlete’s-day-off clothing

It seems like both “Japan is poorer than the US” and “Inflation is down” both attract…inflation truthers, for lack of a better term

“Well no, Americans are actually POOR, damn your numbers!”

Maybe it’s some combo of “grass is greener” and personal pessimism?

Broadly, Russia was distracted with Ukraine, Hezbollah was decimated by Hezbollah, so Assad’s support fell away. From what I understand, Türkiye nudged HTS to move to Aleppo.

I don’t think even HTS expected the thunder run to Damascus.

Morbidly, I look forward to Elon and Co starting fires all over the public sector—as someone who works in the public sector—because at the very least it would cause a crisis large enough to motivate, say, procurement law that doesn’t drive me to madness

I’d be curious about how daily life has gone for civilians—in particular, life in Idlib could provide a preliminary test to how HTS handles governance.

Was it “Everything was Forever, Until It Was No More” by Alexis Yurchak?

Have you seen the sex negativity stick into offline behavior? Like, has the rhetoric converted into people (esp. young millennials/old gen z) marrying and having kids and moving away from cities?

These accounts of your kids confirms that also want kids someday

The process of watching a personality coalesce sounds amazing

One potential benefit of consolidation is reprieve from algorithmic feeds.

If you’re paying for a steady volume of work that feels like a pulse check on the world, that’s one less reason to be on a doomscroll venue

Nothing has alleviated my doomer tendencies more than making a career out a social challenge. Not only do I make decarbonization my Literal Life’s Work…it pays the bills too.

Btw Cox Automotive reported the average sale price of an EV in 3Q2024 as $56,361…vs an industry average of $47,335.

That upfront price gap is still larger than the federal EV incentive.

But anyone complaining about high EV prices should try buying a spec’d up RAV4.

…well how do you now if the citations are good?

Recognizing fallacious reasoning and poor epistemic hygiene helps, but my middle school English curriculum didn’t have a unit on “did you know you’ll be lied to at scale from all directions?”

No one knew that would happen.
