oh yes, everyone is inflating their nutsacks with silicone...just go to any LA Fitness...you'll see it all over...and eating an "impossible" variation of that specialized Korean dog meat? that's not just in Greenpoint, "kids"...it's in Overland Park KS and Hialeah FL too!

and maybe it DOES seem like a trend to the writer, if they went straight from Bard College or somewhere, without passing go, directly into a 35k per year trendpiece slinging gig in a "real" city where the COLA is 10x that...they saw that "impossible" dog meat on their block

politics is local, said Tip O'Neill (or someone), but millennial media is hyper-local, given depressed payrates, extreme insularity in the "real" cities, and other factors that promote these kind of rushed, lame-brained synecdoches ("everyone's drinking that breast milk now!")

To be fair, this is likely because most media jobs (journalism, tv, film) have this baked in "two year trial period" where only people who come from wealthy families can actually afford to live on "entry level" salaries. Lower the barrier to entry and you'll get better bloggers

I completely agree ... and I'd be glad to see this happen a) because better wages need to be paid and b) this will result in more "normal," less insular content. Even political stuff attempting to speak for all people often speaks only for wealthy but slumming city dwellers

What all of America needs right now...is a bone broth dispenser on the green line!
