Faint-hearted descriptivist. Corpse linguistics and uninquisitive semantics. Retweets are proposals of marriage.

My partner died this afternoon, just now. She was responsible for improving, and saving, millions of lives because she was an absolute fucking pest. She made government better because she cared. I am alone and do not know what to think.

Counterpoint: Speaking frankly is a skill; and it’s rare that you are the only one who feels they can’t speak frankly about a topic that’s important them.
For unrelated reasons, I’ve resigned my position at Harvard. But I haven’t been able to speak frankly with *anyone* for c 5 yrs, & it’ll be hard to forget the spectacle of this nation’s ‘intellectual élite’ enforcing moral auto-lobotomy as a condition of entry to polite society.

The cost of midwestern college towns is not low.
You might have expected that the placelessness of the internet would have led more creatives to live in Philly or Detroit or Midwestern university towns (or even the Bronx) where the cost of living is low and a more comfortable lifestyle for doing creative work is possible. But.

Fun fact: Not all boomers are straight, white men. In fact, many never had the chance to be in the way. “OMG the people who de-segregated universities never had to compete w/ women and minorities in college admissions.”.
Boomers allowed affirmative action and diversity politics to take over society. But note that there was never a mass firing of 20-30% of Boomers to make room for diverse hires or whatever. They just grandfathered themselves in then betrayed the next generation with it, as usual.
