@ItsAndyRyan I find it obnoxious to refer to US cities by their area codes, but when people do it, they generally use the definite article. https://t.co/Zcj8BYw87x

@SimonCa00488810 @mattyglesias This is true, and getting truer since the job market disappeared. Nobody has a reason to jump on bandwagons anymore.

@jluebbe1 @mattyglesias Melvyn New, a famous old-school 18th-C prof who edited the standard edition of Sterne, was just recently complaining b/c Behn is now the #1 author discussed in 18th-C journals. I teach Oroonoko every fall. Whether you like her or not, she's still a big deal in our world.

@WDRailways I know a place where we can go, where we are not known.

@xwanyex You're leaving bikes out of the equation. With a cargo bike, the need for a car really does drop significantly, even with kids.

@Chris_arnade Gen X saw the monoculture start to crack about 20 years ago, when we were young adults. At that point, about half of us said goodbye and moved forward into internet logic; the other half are doing everything we can to extend and memorialize Gutenberg-era consciousness.

@mister_shroom_2 @eurofounder You're not wrong. But let's just avoid that singular "humanity" when talking about a field of study, k?

@peligrietzer OK, I'll buy a copy. But I'm a no one outside London. Which issue would you recommend?

@isa2001m IIRC it comes up in Max Wolf Valero's "The Testosterone Files." One of the first things he noticed when he transitioned and started using men's restrooms.

@oliverjjackson @JustAFamilyMan_ Baptists aren't old-money elites, though. Southern Episcopalians are what we're talking about here. They're sort of still around, though a lot of them have gone Evangelical because that's where the power is now.

@Q_Review Catcher didn't do much for me at 15, but at 25 I loved it -- as an actual teenager, I just didn't have any perspective from which to see what I was going through. Seymour was my guy, though.

@NinaPanickssery This usage of "aesthetic" almost makes me miss "lifestyle." Almost.
