One of the group chats I’m in is convinced that the tell a man is normal and well adjusted in 2025 is if he owns and uses a toilet brush, and this started as a bit but at this point I’m basically convinced that it’s true
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

yep
For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit.

The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.
There's no hard data, so it's impossible to know for sure, but I suspect the number of adult children cutting off their parents isn't significantly higher than it used to be, and what's actually new is that the children are now explaining it in therapy terms rather than simply ceasing contact.

The insult that got hurled at Caesar most consistently, per the sources, was the allegation that he had bottomed for the king of Bithynia

It's so funny when people idolize Roman aristocrats like Cicero, Caesar, and Sulla, because reading the primary sources about them makes it clear they were catty bitches who insulted each other by gossiping about the shame of a rival's grandpa owning a rope-making business and a bakery

She gave an interview to Vanity Fair and that author has relayed a bunch of stuff to the NYT so a little extra intrigue for the why of that too

True story, titanium was once so scarce that the CIA had to trick the Russians into selling large quantities of it so they could build the SR-71 Blackbird
something that is hard to get my head around as an adult is that titanium is relatively inexpensive (like $100/kg, depending on grade etc), when I was a kid i learned it was like unobtanium

balanced diet of Looney Tunes, Muppets, Sesame Street, etc

it is important to have junk food (chuck jones) even if it was also spiritually nutritious
My most boomer-coded belief is that growing up watching Looney Tunes as a kid was spiritually and intellectually superior to anything later generations had to offer.
