Good feeling or...?? I was over the moon for almost a year before I became sort of disoriented!

Exactly. Why would anyone want to interact or "share community" with imaginary people? Make it make sense!!

Meta-hell and Xitter don't offer much in the way of incentive, for sure!

Great post. I've had an intuition, for a long time, that race piggy-backs this phenomenon. Sports would be an example though my intuition is based on academia.

And certainly different gamers game differently. I'm not the same gamer I was at 20.

Ah. I see what you're saying. I always think some readers read patiently, and at particular times in their lives? I'm not the same reader I was at 20. What evs: you do you!!!

World-building is everything. Why would I spend 15 hours reading/gaming a world without culture and back-story?

The elephant in the middle of the room is that MAGA is an anti-education movement. Muscular, belligerent mediocrity is the MAGA brand. Tell Vivek the call is coming from inside the house. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Jimmy Carter, Who Has Died at Age 100, Spared Millions of People from Guinea Worm, a Debilitating Parasite Former president Jimmy Carterโ€™s charity has helped transform Guinea worm from a disease that used to infect millions to one that infects fewer than a dozen

Guinea worm used to afflict 3.5 million people each year. This year, thanks in part to Jimmy Carter, there have been 7 cases. He negotiated the longest humanitarian cease-fire in history to distribute water filters & larvicides www.scientificamerican.com/article/jimm... via @tanyalewis.bsky.social

Care for yourself like you are the last raw egg in the universe. The academy can break a person! Especially women of color. Phew!

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

Whiteness is a lethal weapon Whether a CEO assassin like Luigi Magione, subway strangler Daniel Penny or a mass deportation, whiteness can justify any form of violence.


Maybe itโ€™s time to talk about white-on-white crime, the white communityโ€™s violent culture and why Caucasian America is ALWAY in its angry era

I'm confused: are we supposed to feel for C-Suite execs afraid to return to their offices?
