The World Series was played outside the U.S. for the first time in 32 years this October, when the Toronto Blue Jays united fans across Canada as the country’s only MLB team. The team even became known as the “Glue Jays” before the Los Angeles Dodgers ended their thrilling postseason run.

It’s increasingly clear that Trump sees the shutdown as a way of governing without Congress. In my neighbourhood we call that an autogolpe.

I agree that nostalgia is dangerous, but at the same time I am increasingly convinced that human civilisation peaked around July 1999, and everything has been downhill since.
Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
