@michaelmiraflor I’m excited about this shift to smaller form factors. It will encourage other watches to dominate the space, exposing those who collect for flex > personality/fit. There are decades (if not a century) of gorgeous watches that need to shine. Individualism beats copypasta everyday

We have enough quality to compete, Romero, Kudus, Simmons, Richarlison & Muani to name a few, they are in horrible form & it goes beyond coaching at this point, players have to take accountability at some point. 6 managers in a 5 year span. Let’s be logical please.

The greatest value-add I’ve seen for myself and friends who grew up in NYC is the unconditional empathy, inherent respect, teamwork, and courage we share. We are all in this together, regardless of ethnicity/race/$, and we share resources. NYC upbringing forces this; others don’t

Underrated benefits of having a kid in NYC

1. Proximity to essentials is huge
Out of milk? One block to the deli. Kids sick? Two blocks to pediatrician. The small errands of the suburbs are more time consuming because everything requires a car.

2. Closeness to friends
We rarely plan dates or times to link up with friends. We have a handful of friends within a 20m walk; so weekend AMs are usually impromptu coffee + park hangs.

3. Not having to load kid in car
Stroller or walking around beats the car 8 out of 10 times.

4. Exposure to a lot of life
We have friends in the burbs of LA who, in the summer are mostly housebound with their nanny. We are perpetually out and about with our daughter — in restaurants, delis, coffee shops, w/ other kids; this kind of constant daily exposure is (I would guess) beneficial to their development and keeps us from sitting at home and watching tv

4. Entertainment is walking around
On weekends we just walk around, somewhat aimlessly, doing errands together, stopping at parks, etc. allows for much more spontenaity and less pre planned “what are we doing today..”

I tie the reduction in going out to the rise of groupthink.

When I was 17-23, we went outside bc the approach to socialization was new experience = growth which made you a more attractive/sound than the “podcast said this so I do this” crowd. We figured things out for ourselves

[Michael J. Miraflor @michaelmiraflor]

At breakfast club LA yesterday, a few of us elder millennials discussed the dire state of nightlife in the city. Bars and clubs shutting down, people not being outside in general. A few folks around the table were actual venue owners or operators, hospitality business owners, worked at liquor brands, and former nightlife execs/party organizers, etc so they could see it decline over time with their own eyes (not coming to these conclusions because of reading Substacks or TikTok trend forecasting etc). Young people not dancing as much, alcohol sales cratering, not enough people having fun, few expressions of joy, everyone worried about $. What money is being spent might be reallocating to the wellness economy (someone in the discussion actually ran a retreat, but even she remarked on the lack of socialization balance in LA). This tweet below reminds me of that. Why aren’t we dancing anymore? Do we still want to laugh?

Anyhow, it was a pretty sobering conversation, with all of us questioning if we are just older and washed and just don’t know what’s what. Our collective hope is that the fun was all happening at house parties and underground spots that were gatekept from people like us - this was the hope. Because otherwise it was easy to come to the conclusion that “people have retreated almost entirely online to socialize,” and “NYC feels like the only city where people still go out out regularly.”
