This is the best thing I've read on the phenomenon. Telling that these trend stories are almost always told from the POV of the parents.

i def take the hour—i usually go for a walk and (if i'm just writing, no meetings) start my day at a cafe. (is it the end of that hour right now, and i should be writing? probably!)

what if all the evil in the world was not bc of human impulses and institutions, but bc the devil was personally corrupting the hearts of dark foreigners (and a race of subhumans) to invade our beloved homeland, and also what if dwarves were jews and angels were blond?

all of the weed places here—famously dealing mostly in cash—round to the nearest dollar. let's do pennies for a buck, nickles for a fiver, and quarters become tens? cash can be $20 and up (and maybe a random like, $40 bill as a replacement for novelty $2 bills)

if you ran it back, Whittier is probably the other contender for future downtown! LA is 100k ppl in 1900 when the SaMo v. Long Beach port fights get going—construction is just too expensive to be worth it until the town is too big to lose its anchored position.

idk—it sits at the meeting of (and natural transpo links between) the LA basin/SFV/SGV (and implicitly the IE). el camino real went thru bc of these natural links, and the lack of a natural harbor to anchor development meant these overland links were a key force in development..

agreed on the flavor—the texture is notably not-quite, but not in a bad way? the sausages are even closer i think

slightly less true than it used to be? although as far as discourse probably still pretty true that we mostly ignore the bottom 40% here

i read the planet books and it started out mildly diverting but (as with narnia) rapidly deteriorated into a psychedelic christianity allegory?

all of the evidence here is very funny. "nobel prize-winning work in physics is practical." "oppenheimer the movie is political, but oppenheimer the man did apolitical work." very good.

i'm in ulysses for everything! at least for first drafts. ulysses is bad for collaboration and revision but it's such a nice cozy spot for getting ideas out of my dumb brain without getting distracted or overwhelmed by like, paragraph indent options.
