one thing i miss about nyc is how navel-gazey it is. the discourse about neighborhoods (if you’re x-type, move to bushwick, if you’re y-type move to bed-stuy ❤️) actually does happen irl. I love it

More bars should be like Sottovento in Pavia. A mixed crowd of students having a drink with friends – or actually studying – plus old folks playing board games, actually pleasant music, Italian craft on tap (the Mozkito session ale was excellent!), and super friendly barkeeps.

i am very equipped for this discourse. sorry. nyc mogs in so many ways but the good mexican food is kinda spotty. you’ll get some good spots here and there but let’s not pretend it’s better than california

This remains one of the best/most important visualizations done in the past decade. It wasn't just that it seemed like language changed over night, it really did!

in the same way that brooklyn is like the pilgrimage place for quirked up + queer leftist young people, is there an analogue for young conservatives and manosphere types? is it tampa?

main slop of this decade (from most to least objectionable)
s tier: heated rivalry, saltburn, sombr, life of a showgirl
a tier: jacob elordi, benson boone
b tier: chappell roan, challengers, stranger things, most shoegaze/slowcore
c tier: the newest boygenius record

everyone talks about queerbaiting and not enough people talk about straight-baiting. i don’t mean guys who are dl or masc; i mean clearly and openly gay guys who perform heterosexuality. like arthur russell’s country and folk songs
