woke up today thinking about consumerism, the concept of success, the intergenerational economic decline, etc, and serendipitously came across this essay by John Perry Barlow (2001)

Red River (1948) by Howard Hawks
one of the earliest mainstream films featuring method acting (by Montgomery Clift), which reshaped Hollywood masculinity to more intellectually and morally textured profiles. so very into it. i’ve not had enough cattle-driving movies featuring sensitive brooding cowboys in my life🤠💕
watch it for Monty or the on-screen cattle stampede

a human might go to Disneyland in a few stages
1. smol; taken by parents
2. adult; watching other children and realizing once again how much your parents have done for you
3. pay it forward to another smol human
so it goes round and round like the King Arthur Carousel 🎠

thoroughly enjoyed this for commiseration purposes. they’ve been making kings out of rabble rousing boors since all the way back then and i take moderate comfort in remembering that this time is merely no different

surely we would rather wreck our own economy and make it so no one can afford things than to let immigrants have jobs that nobody else wants anyway

the California bar exam this week has been a serious botch

@ted now that i’m paying more attention for better feedback: maybe it’s just how my follows cluster, but my Home, Following, and Trending tabs are pretty much the same users so the tabs feel redundant.
and then some users never come up. e.g. i can’t remember the last time casts from homies like @sdv.eth @july @christopher organically showed up on my feeds and they cast fairly frequently

One of my genuine favorite parts about working in tech as someone who stays up really late is it's socially acceptable to sleep late and get up late
Die Siege laden ihn nicht ein.
Sein Wachstum ist: der Tiefbesiegte
von immer Größerem zu sein.
Winning does not tempt that man.
This is how he grows: by being defeated, decisively,
by constantly greater beings.

Robert Bly’s translation of Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Der Schauende”
“When we win it's with small things,
and the triumph itself makes us small.
What is extraordinary and eternal
does not want to be bent by us.”

the “dad” aesthetic is ripe for rebranding, perhaps with this “Huberman husband” archetype. if a reasonable amount of vanity can encourage a generally more health-conscious lifestyle, it ultimately benefits everyone
