I’d like to be optimistic but I think the idea that we’ve never had it so good is for the birds. Jobs for life, social contract, potential to buy a property. All minimal for anyone leaving school today.

I’ve just emailed you. We have a Friday club next Friday (first in years : )

Oooh thank you! And you think it’s lots better?

How did you switch? Can you export playlists?

It’s quite odd. I’m usually a fan of his but some of the ideas I’ve read are pretty bad.

I have similar feelings but have resisted so far. I’m still on FB so think I only get updates from a very niche set of people (about 4 of them). It’s quite weird.

That totally makes sense but surely given many people’s terrible ability to manage emails a non response could just be down to inbox overload?

Kind of, but historically the data says most people only ever visited 6-7 websites regularly, used 6-7 apps etc. I think it’s probably not changed that much but so much more is gated now (Substack etc) and google is getting worse and worse

Love the Rotters Club! So great

It’s so weird. There seems to be a thing with places doing French bistro food quite well. Bouchen Racine, 64 Goodge st, the Devonshire. They’re all lovely but they’re not great restaurants. They’re fine but where this hype comes from is insane…
