    I missed seeing this unfold live on Twitter and to this day it remains pretty much the only Twitter phenomenon for which I have genuine FOMO.

    I have driven across the USA twice and, hands down, the highest concentration of random weirdos along the side of the highway is in New Hampshire. Today I saw a woman wearing nothing but hiking boots. I don’t think she was hitchhiking, but uh, maybe?

    Y2K is such a great study in survivorship bias. People still think it wasn't a big deal because the tremendous efforts to prevent it from being a big deal are less memorable than the fact that the dire warnings didn't come true.

    Work at a trade publication instead of going to grad school for journalism. Work with whomever will hire you, even if you’ve never heard of them and no one you know reads them. You’ll learn a lot more about journalism and skip the debt.

    Once again with feeling: Pursuing a career in journalism is like getting a MFA or going after any other creative field. You can make a living, but it’s a huge risk and you will likely go through lots of financial hardship along the way.

    It's almost as if the people who need to take Covid seriously won't, while those who can safely resume many activities remain too scared to do so.

    A key point in this article: the Delta variant's economic impact has been strongest in the states with higher vaccination rates and lower case rates. People are reining in their activity in response to rising rates in other parts of country.

    I feel like there’s a lot more to be explored in ’s talk from a few years — particularly her assertion about how a sense of curiosity instilled early in life can be an antidote to tribalism.

    The subject matter here got me thinking a lot about how subcultures, communities, and movements now pop up so fast now that they get mainstreamed and commercialized before any real organic/indie phase can exist where they make mistakes and grapple with their values and ethics

    New post on Loot. The beauty of the drop, the frustration of the drop, and where it can go now:
