It's horrible! I am all for the existence of negative reviews in the world in general, but with something like this, I want to get lost in it. It does actually have a magic to it if you can suspend disbelief.
But every 15 minutes it goes back to these 3 bitching and I rush to switch the sound off.

It looks like it. If you want to unfollow later because you only have so much headspace for randos, that's fine. I think I found your account bcos my ex retweeted your post about ND & NT people clashing subtly in groups. V good insight I saw just when I needed it

Have looked around at quite a few, got a lot of detailed info on account of being more AuDHD. Would prefer to DM rather than write a thread, if you were okay with that

I feel like the older I get, the more likely it is to be the former, and something I am going to be juggling and phasing in and out long term, around the other things.

It also used to be more okay to be brilliant but unreliable /difficult in various fields, including, but not only, the arts and media. A greater degree of consistency and conformity are expected compared with, e.g. the 1960s-90s, plus a greater attentional load is foisted on everyone by social media

Howe Generational Theory (not serious history, like astrology) or Scheidel's Gt Leveler, a big part of its importance is now in its influence (in politics, media, tech & popularisation in online communities). This can make predictions more true as ppl act according to the ideas / push them to happen

I've read a lot of related material such as journal papers, critiques and views for and against, and am familiar with the main ideas. Basically there are a lot of people who either go all in, or are too keen to dismiss everything in what's essentially academic infighting. As as with Strauss & 1/2

I know this narrator's voice well from listening to nearly 50 hours of Geoffrey Parker's Global Crisis: War, Climate Change & Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century, and he seems like a very fitting choice.

Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)! His philosophy can seem quite anxiety- and fear-based. Suitable for the era. He fled abroad for a while at an appropriate time, and thus lived to 91.

Did you message or @ the list owner? I didn't make the list, I was just posting it for someone else to see.

Half the lifestyle section now seems to be written by Emma Beddington and Joel Snape, and they seem like they might be examples of this ladder-pulling.
As EB has been married for 30 years (as per recent column) she must be in her 50s. And according to Wiki JS is 45.

I think the being clean shaven is also under-estimated. Relatively unusual nowadays and can evoke imagery of various figures from history from the 18th century to the 1970s. He seems clever enough to have perhaps thought that himself, even if it was also his usual look

But could that even be a tipping point for the decline of the purity test, young hard leftists' moment to start accepting people who agree with them on some of their key points but not everything?

So that would be social media companies such as the ones owned by Trump donors like Zuckerberg?

It's that or an even vaster insidious influx of funded posts, comments, podcasts, videos, plus talking points and incidents to get attention in trad and local media. Would also translate into more aggression for minorities & women way before an election. Did you not see what happened in Romania?

I think they spend so much time in that bubble, and haven't really witnessed the tides of what looks very much like astroturfing coming into social media, comments sections and by extension the press over the last few years, and how it is then reflected in electoral politics in various countries.

This is probably a series specific wiki on Fandom/Wikia, where stuff like this is just fine. The typeface doesn't look like Wikipedia

There have been accounts on Twitter and Instagram about them (photos or products featuring them) for a long time, but I reckon the main obstacle is the English name. Long tailed tits are possibly the cutest bird in European gardens. They also may seem less exotic because of their large range.
