A statistic that sounds fake but isn't: Not one single white American man born after 1984 has published a work of literary fiction in The New Yorker.
It's not because they stopped writing. It's because The New Yorker has refused to publish them. The publishing industry has blacked out a generation of male writers & then they wonder why boys don't read.
About 70% of publishing professionals are women.
Because agents and editors tend to select books they personally relate to, an increasing number of male authors are being sidelined in the publishing industry, resulting in an overwhelming number of female protagonists on our shelves—and a dearth of male ones.
No wonder young men are no longer reading.

The Arthur M. Anderson in long-term lay-up in Toledo.
She sailed with the Edmund Fitzgerald across Lake Superior in Nov 1975, & was the last ship to have visual, radio, & radar contact with the Fitz before she went down; & went back out into 30 foot waves to search for survivors.

Guy next to me on the street in SF is laying on the sidewalk high on fentanyl.
The pendulum is about to swing hard into offline / tactile experiences.

Counterpoint: if you could give every child in your town’s schools breakfast and lunch every day, but it required firing two district administrators, would you do it?

Here is a society. Look up, together, to the skyscraper we built, to see the results of a decision we made. Today, pull down to refresh the feed. Whatever this is, America needs it back.

Sometimes I think about how it would feel to be a linebacker on a 4-8 college football team in the MAC. You still have to be inhumanly athletic, you still have to dedicate your life to something bigger, but your greater purpose is being 4-8 in the MAC

Me, in college, in 2009: yea, just let people do what they want as long as it’s not hurting me!
Me now: ok I’ve seen enough please make everything illegal
