Every complaint about New York City is like a 5th Wave gentrifier complaining about 6th Wave gentrifiers wondering “what happened?”— the answer for 30 years has been, “New York got safer, increasing demand, and didn’t build a lot of new housing—people move where there is supply.”

I’ve never heard of Sarah Davis Baker, but somehow the algorithm knew this would be right up my alley. A great video essay entitled, The Internet Used to Be A Place.

If you remember what Geocities was, this is for you.

The internet lived in a room, and that room had a door. It took a long time to notice when the door went missing.

I used to tinker with my website almost every weekend, but I haven’t messed with it in a while. I realized recently that I think, at least for this iteration, it might be “complete”. I can’t think of changes I want to make for the stuff I currently put on my site.

Bug reports are welcome.

Not enough people mentioning the symmetry of “I’ll find you,” from Bix in S2 versus the end of S1 when she is half out of her mind and says, “He’ll find us.”

I take this as the completion of her arc— she’s healed, strong, and in control of her choices now.

I just did a deep clean of my podcast backlog– it feels really good.
