Well - on first inspection. It was the genericness that was the ultimate tell. Subtle yet profound. That spark of actual creativity and craft was the differentiator. That’s what this told me about the things made by humans.

This so rings true. I travelled to Europe with my wife and teenage daughter over Christmas and the new year. We particularly enjoyed our time in Lake Como (and Menaggio in particular); so much so we decided to get one of those old-style tourist posters of Lake Como for one of our walls… 1/2

3x/ You don’t need to and should not tolerate this. I have responded to [more moderate / less culty] Trump supporters. Staying civil with this crowd (which are the only ones worth engaging with - the culty ones are different, but are a lost cause) takes the wind out of their sails. Pick your fights.

2/ I don’t, as a matter of course, weigh in and shit all over their party; it pays to be respectful (demure, thoughtful) & if I do comment I try and follow these principles. I expect the same of others. When people resort to name calling + cheap shots then they *are* acting in bad faith. Period. ⋯

PS: You are in good company. Agatha (my gorgeous and smart wife for those not in the know) weened herself off FB 2-3 years ago now. We watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix last night - which is an appropriate thing to watch at this stage.
