Photographer Austin Bell has captured 1,441 courts throughout NYC. This is just a sample of the ones with the Parks Department leaf logo at center court. Mesmerizing.

Gym parking lot full on a Sunday afternoon. This is some kind of cultural exhaustion. I think we have societally scrolled to the “end of the timeline” and collectively run out of ideas. Nothing left, but preparing for a future that never arrives.

Being well-traveled, having a lot of notable experiences, etc as a young person doesn’t really count if your family is well-off

Cool how some of the Dday landing ships were repurposed and serve as commercial ferries. I rode the cape henlopen across the sound to CT last summer

The Overton Window is crazy because if you believed Biological Anthropology was real 5 years ago you were seen as like an Esoteric H*tlerite but now every single person in the world believes in it and left-wingers who cry at slurs call food "zogchow"

This is, historically, the definition of gentry

The lower gentry had enough capital, often agricultural land, to live like the upper middle class without having to work

They could and did use that to serve the nation instead of working. Hence why country squires long dominated Parliament, and why Virginians were overrepresented in political leadership before, during, and after the Founding. The capital opened an opportunity for maintaining socioeconomic status while serving rather than working

Sure, they couldn't live like aristocratic grandees. But so long as they had good estate stewards or overseers, they could generally and sustainably live comfortably while serving in the military, colonies, or political scene. The old order was based on that

They "we" used extortionate death and income taxes to destroy the gentry, which didn't really muddle through the 20th century in the way the grandees did, and replace them with self-serving bureaucrats. The result has been societal disaster
