50 miles in the Bob Marshall wilderness there is no WiFi, no cell. Only print works. Great to catch up w/ @countyhwy w/ no distractions. Tomorrow @BlackCoffeeMsla.
This is the piece. A very good one. It's interesting to see the subterranean dominance of an individualism in there--Huberman-like. thepointmag.com/politics/last-…
Consistent with the effort to deny the meaning of all physicality, the toilet paper in postmodern techy hotels is invariably one-ply. What was once the plight of the poor has become the ostentatious fauxpoverty of the rich. Another feature we can know for sure without even…
Starting the first Monday of the first month of the new year with all the right feels. @countyhwy is like the quintessential Holly Golightly little black dress and pairs with everything. It pairs best, though, with a healthy and sweet breakfast.
I have received two calls from the CDC within the last hour demanding that I respond to their survey on Covid and other vaccinations. Wonder what this is about, exactly? Has the CDC ever done vaccination surveys before?

VERY SERIOUS: of all the documents I've seen over 4 years of research and writing, this is the one that shocks me the most. The amount of institutional pathology that allowed for it to be written/published is beyond comprehension. brownstone.org/articles/the-c…
I found it highly ironic in recent years that many of the same people in power who talked a big game about "ending systemic racism in America" were also the biggest proponents of the alphabet soup of financial compliance regimes like KYC and AML that are discriminatory by design.…
Never forget that the internet and AI are limited to what is digitized and can be hoovered by search. You will find it only in physical books, manuscripts, records, etc. The volume of what is not digitized is huge; maybe more than what is digitized.
Who are we protecting, and from what? Gambling is increasingly legal in the US: Casinos, sports betting, the lottery, and so on. The economic benefits of most forms of gambling are limited. There is some job creation and collection of additional taxes, but these benefits come at…
The Bozeman airport may be the most pleasant airport in the US. Everyone so polite. May it remain forever small & chill.
Other concerns today than the usual X fare for those who keep us in foodstuffs. instagram.com/p/C2VY1akPd44/

Love the print lovers bringing back print. @countyhwy you have some interesting Brit company.
