Biking!! The infrastructure is getting better (location dependent) and I can ride an e-cargo bike that carries my children home from summer camp AND hauls a Carla Cargo trailer with a DJ and live DJing equipment on it. We are also building a genuine bicycling culture.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

FB has decided I should see Zack Snyder fans celebrating every James Gunn failure. I don’t have a boxer in this fight. I didn’t like the Snyder movies and the Gunn stuff is turning out mostly OK so far. This debate isn’t for me.

I usually end up reading Don DeLillo's "Pafko at the Wall" about once a year, and man, it's just so good. As I was finishing it last night, I was sitting up in my chair like you would watching an actual baseball game. It captures the feelings of that moment so well, completely absorbing.

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
