One related issue is that 24/7 instant access to media seems to (to at least some extent) collapse time and with it a sense of history.

I love the idea of not over coordinating plans, it adds a little spontaneity, a little mystery ✨

Not a fan of MTA using brat to announce G train closures but big fan of Kamala brat edits, I don't know how that makes sense in my head at this point

I also feel like the MTA brat post wasn’t the correct aesthetic, the font was too crisp. kamala’s gen z intern definitely followed the brat brand guidelines! 🍏

Just discovered your substack... adored it, and concomitantly your writing style, immediately. You write with such verve: so much clarity, yet such precise and beautiful range of vocabulary. Goes without saying but your insight is superb, too. Thank you!
