august 18 etc
I guess I drop a little links/etc blog post every (week)day now? This was not the plan, but it has clearly become a thing I do ββ and want to do.
I've never been a particularly good blogger, but that's largely because I (previously) thought that every post I put out into the world had to be a banger. That's a really high bar to clear, and for a while I thought that was a good thing, i.e. the internet is better when it has more high-quality stuff on it. Eventually I realized that's not what the internet is. The internet is everything. It's up to people to find what they want.
Anyway, I can't promise I will be able to keep up this pace, but I'm definitely going to try to drop at least one post every weekday if only so the folks working email jobs can have something nice as a treat.
ICYMI here are last week's posts:
august 11
august 12
august 13
august 14
august 15
As for this week's? Well, that's what we're doing right now, isn't it.
On y va!
ππ I'm a big Ryan Anderson fan but hadn't been looking at his stuff lately and was recently reminded of his greatness by my buddy J.P. in Montreal. Turn your speakers up for this one. (Instagram)
ππ Speaking of cars, you're probably aware that there's a cultural belief/understanding that lesbians drive Subarus. I recently brushed up on the backstory via a piece I read nine years ago and thought you might want to as well. (Pricenomics)
πΆπ Every now and again I read something in a Slate advice column that stuns me and this is one of those things. (Slate)
ππΌββοΈπ― Just saw this pic of Nicolas Gabard and am reconsidering my entire wardrobe. (styleforum)
πΉπ§ Got six and a half minutes? Joan Westenberg's vlog on how to be taken seriously is good, good stuff ββ especially for young people. (YouTube/Westenberg)
π€π¦ΉββοΈ I have long argued that the pervasive narcissism and/or sociopathy and/or psychopathy of our time is actually solipsism. We say "that guy has main character syndrome" but what we're saying is "that guy is a solipsist." Anyway, Cory Doctorow wrote a short essay on how the billionaire supervillian losers that have destroyed/recreated our reality don't actually see us as real and I am prone to agree. (Pluralistic)
