'tis the season

to be just a little bit sick, but not like totally sick

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.

me, aggressively showing up in your inbox every week to talk about the things I am obsessed with

Does anyone want to hear the news anymore?

• MON DIEU!

• This article from The Cut about women “quiet quitting” their husbands is baffling to me in the year 2025. Reading about these women’s experiences alongside watching the current season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, plus those agonizing TikToks of straight couples who hate each other, it looks like heterosexuality is having a bit of a PR crisis.

• I love this idea - a nation of useless freaks high on their own false notion of superiority. Milton Friedman’s vaping grandson is absolutely right, he does, “need a home for his tribe.” In fact, let’s take it one step further and instead of “experimental cities,” let’s put all of these guys in one big building, maybe in Utah, like the one where Whitey Bulger used to live.

• Drew Magary hates AI and you should too.

• I was unfamiliar with the term “doink” in football, but it felt good to see it demonstrated by a true buffoon. Maybe this guy needs to focus a little more on kicking a ball professionally and less on what women are doing.

Tunes to start the week with:

Two new songs from Charlotte Day Wilson (remember her on this Kaytranada track?) that are smooth and gorgeous. And a new Disclosure track for millennials who year for the club.
