I spent 5 hours last night walking around the city discussing philosophy and psychology with a friend and this morning I woke up feeling the best I have in months. Socratic dialogues are, no joke, the best antidote for the male loneliness epidemic. Find something you care about and debate it!

Ten years ago I went to a new years party at my Slavic friend's house and complemented her father's dish of "herring in an overcoat." I was surprised by a big bowl of it as a birthday gift recently. Today I ended up cooking up some rice and breaking out some nori and it really works in onigiri!

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

Deer are prey animals, and across most of the western world, we have wiped out their natural predators. Their population is already much higher than is "natural", and feeding them exacerbates ecological imbalance. If you really cared, you'd be feeding the deer to wolves and cougars.
