Hot take: Mamdani is not bad looking but not notably handsome, the reason people like him is charisma, a quality we see so little of in contemporary politicians we have lost the ability to identify it.
I have seen a largish number of comments Across the Web in which it is posited that young women voted for Mamdani because he’s hot, and if ever there were an audacity of cope moment that so deftly combines misogyny and insecurity, friends,

To say that the majority of Trek fans are right wing and that women don’t *really* like it is something that only a real trek fan would know that only a fake Trek fan would say

I expected this to be bad, but it's genuinely horrifying the way no single moment is connected to any other. I do not believe that any organism that had any subjective experience of reality could think this was good.
Oh my god some fucking tech dingdong posted this on Twitter with the caption "AI games are going to be amazing" totally seriously, you have to watch it. You have to. In full screen.

For many Americans, there might be a temptation to disbelieve the enormity of what has happened in Gaza, our columnist Lydia Polgreen writes. But, in discovering the true cost of war, “we might find that it’s even worse than we thought.”

You don't need to tell me you have to tell me something. You don't need to ask me if you can ask me something. Processing whatever you had to say is easier than simulating every possible combination of words you could ever say and preparing a response to each one.
as a person with anxiety don’t text me shit like “we need to talk” or “i need to talk to you later”

making sure no one got elected saying "all the elementary school kids in my district should eat lunch for free" was more urgently necessary to the national democrats than avoiding caucusing for people who wanted to overturn Roe or negotiating with white nationalists in the senate as if in good faith

Term paper on Loving v. Virginia written over one febrile night, closed without saving, then wrote that sumbitch again from memory and turned it in at 3. Soft ass kids coulda never survived the Aughts
I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

The end of the beginning is still the beginning. Funny thing about life, when I was young I was full of despair because I thought I knew what I was, what the world is and what the future held. As I get older I become more hopeful because I realize I don't know any of that and it all changes anyway.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
