The specifics of it aren’t important, the fact of the matter is that it’s been “one thing after another” for me. I bet you know the feeling. I felt grateful be enjoying a lower friction global homo cosmopolitanism for the night. I need something be smooth brained for a little bit. I got middle rent […]

Day 1527 and Wayback Machine
I just finished watching the 8th season of Netflix’s mega reality TV hit Love is Blind. It feels as if they produce a new America version every quarter but if that’s not enough content for you there are spinoffs in Sweden, Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Argentina.

Day 930 and Quantity
I was very kindly tagged in a Twitter thread today with a lovely compliment about my daily writing habits. Does quantity have its own quality? As I close in on a thousand posts I think my answer is a strong “maybe!” One aspect of creation that is perhaps a bit understudied is just how much […]

Day 721 and 40 Questions
I came across a list of 40 questions that Stephen Ango answers every year on Twitter today. It looked like a fun exercise so I thought I’d participate. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Bought a house & got my very first mortgage, moved to Montana, lived in Germany for […]

Day 689 and Dick Riding
As chaos continues to unfurl around the world, the tendency towards hero worship is getting out of control. Cults of personality are having a moment absolutely everywhere, even as we are treated to even more spectacular variants of the Emperor Has No Clothes. You’d think the recent flameouts in finance, technology and politics just this […]
