Widely noted: Blogs lower stamina for books, and tweets for blogs.
Less noted: DMs/slacks with little/no threading lowering stamina for long email conversations on a single topic. I remember really deep-nested email chains 10y ago.
Now I beg thread bankruptcy at ~2 nestings.

In general I don’t fight these things. Seems futile and also missing out on new stuff. I tend to steer into them. At some level fighting anything the internet does to reading/writing feels a bit like I suppose illuminated manuscript scribes might have felt with printing press.

I’m fascinated by comic books and graphic novels not just surviving but thriving in a positive feedback loop with movies/TV. I don’t read them much (poor modern comics literacy) but it’s amazing how the form an adjacent-possible medium just beyond what movies seem able to handle

Longform prose needs to come into some sort of similar relationship with conversation stream media. If your blog post can’t go somewhere DMs and twitter can’t go, don’t even bother.
Longform needs to be exploring today what twitter might get to in 10y.
MCU = 1960s comic roots.
