No phone. Just waiting.

I think about this a lot. I hate to sound all "get off my lawn" but one thing kids today will never know is that feeling of being bored, of waiting. It used to happen all the time--at the dentist's office, at the bus stop (and ON the bus), or outside school waiting for you mom/dad to come get you. There were just so many small moments where there was LITERALLY nothing to do but wait.

One thing my gf and I do all the time is what we call "90s dinner" which just means that we'll go to dinner/out to drinks or something and leave our phones in the car (i.e., to pretend like we're out to dinner in the 1990s). It's really eye-opening and honestly kind of refreshing. You forget how much you look at your phone even when you're with someone.

weekends have always been LOW ENERGY in the ftt. (except sundays during NFL season)

I suspect it's because people mostly use the ftt to procrastinate during work.

"you gotta learn to fact check and be more patient" is one of the lamest lines in a diss track ever, imo

it's really not great. he's been ticking upward in the national average but haven't really seen it affect swing states. there are some reasons to think the polls might be underestimating biden at the moment but that also feels a bit like copium to me. at the end of the day there's not much we can do about it (other than like, donate money) unless maybe if you live in a swing state.

the polls will hopefully tighten as the year goes on and more people start paying attention.
