Pudding post
(On review: I have a particular relationship with the word want. When asked "do you want to ..." I try to reserve "yes" for things I have already considered and have decided to form an intention around. And on the back end, if I find myself saying, "I want to ..." but then never do it, I have sort of an existential relationship to the word: You aren't what you say you are. You haven't done what you said you want to do. You are what you do. And barring blockers, obstacles, and other matters of physics and circumstance, if you thought you wanted to do something, then never did it, but completely could have, can you really be said to have wanted to do it? At the very best, "not much." I don't think this is a popular point of view because people are increasingly suspicious of the idea that anyone actually has any agency.)

The deal is this: if he can shut his mouth, we can hold our noses. Then we can all make this work despite our differences.

The problem is not just the rise of fake material, but the collapse of context and the acceptance that truth no longer matters as long as our cravings for colors and noise are satisfied. Contemporary social media content is more often rootless, detached from cultural memory, interpersonal exchange or shared conversation. It arrives fully formed, optimized for attention rather than meaning, producing a kind of semantic sludge, posts that look like language yet say almost nothing.

From postage stamps to jetliner specifications to items he packed for the journey, José Naranja’s sketchbooks capture minute details of numerous international trips. “I’m lost in the intricate details, as always,” he tells Colossal. Everything from currency to noodle varieties to film references make their way into small books brimming with travel ephemera and observations.

An E-bike For The Mind - by Josh Brake
At the end of the day, we must remember that innovation is a bargain. We often consider what technology promises to enable for us, without considering what it will almost certainly disable. Most of the time, we fail to stop and consider the tradeoffs. Perhaps e-bikes may give us a metaphor to frame our thinking.
