This reminds me of one of the great tweets of our time that may have been aimed specifically at me.

[Eugenia Kuyda @ekuyda]

I’ve been thinking about this David Foster Wallace quote more and more recently

“The technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it's gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. Which is all right. In low doses, right? But if that's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die. In a meaningful way, you're going to die."

“So you sold your watch to get your wife a comb?”

“Yes, Dave.”

“But she sold her hair to get you a chain for your watch?”

“Yes, Dave.”

“So now you have a chain with no watch, a comb with no hair, and no money?”

“Yes, Dave.”

hell isn’t for threatening bad people it’s for reassuring good people that the bad people who appear to be getting away with it won’t keep getting away with it forever

"As a Christian, one thing I love about Trump is that he openly rejects the basic moral teachings of Jesus"

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

if you start reading books again. you will feel at least a little better. i promise.

This was revealed to me in a vision while stuck in traffic.

Baseball is not selling you a sport it is selling you a warm summer night outside. A ballpark is supposed to be a setting for summer

You don't even have to pay attention. You can just take in the atmosphere or walk around. eat. whatever.

if a team has low attendance, it means the stadium is wrong, the neighborhood it sits in is wrong

It's a referendum on placemaking

[yoshimi battles video game addiction @nise_yoshimi]

in all honesty the allied victory in WW2 is probably the only moment a broad swathe of humanity, with all its sins, was united in pursuit of something unequivocally good, and squabbling over who did more has always struck me as pissing on the whole thing a bit

Average Ernest Hemingway story: To prove his masculinity, Hemingway sailed into a hurricane only to return haunted by a tragic love affair and God's indifference to his despair.
Average F. Scott Fitzgerald story: After his wife called him gay, Fitzgerald slipped on a banana peel.

“Trump is trying to illegally take control of the Fed so he can force it to print money to finance his reckless tax cuts for billionaires, imposing an inflation tax on Americans and making everything you buy more expensive.”
