Kissing is so fascinating to me. How did we all collectively decide that smushing our mouths together is a cornerstone of intimacy? Or are all our brains just hard-wired for that somehow? I’m not sure which one of those is stranger

I see people making jokes about Hampshire college, but if you really think AI is going to push human labor into artisanal task that are hard to automate, you may wish we had more experimental colleges that offered the kind of experience Hampshire College provides.

One nice legacy of Hampshire was that it was always framed as an "experiment" - and I think a lot of institutions learned from the experiment and built various aspects of "Hampshire-esque" education into their own systems. 1/N

I went on a few of the strangest dates of my life with a girl who went to Hampshire. She asked me to shave my mustache after knowing me for less than a month. Used to huff nitrous and do LSD. RIP to the factory for real freakazoids

The emerging American tax logic right now is something like: - we can’t tax the poor because they’re poor - we can’t tax the working class because they work - we can’t tax tips bc that’s just unfair - we can’t tax businesses because they create work - we can’t tax property bc homeowners have it hard enough - we can’t tax billionaires because their contributions are so precious and also they might move or get mad or give your primary opponent $10m - and we can’t tax pensioners because they’ve “earned it.” It’s like the accommodative parenting style of politics. Every group is so very special it needs a tax jubilee. I guess that leaves … tariffs?
