"The Devil Wears Prada is, then, a movie that catered to millennial women who would have been in their early 20s when it was released. Anne Hathaway was 24, and Emily Blunt was 23. The movie pretends to be their friend, acknowledging that the office is a humiliating slog, that a career can strain personal relationships, and, yes, you may have to adopt a fake persona to survive. Yet there are no escape hatches; the best young women can do is find a niche that they don’t despise.

"In Strauss and Howe's generational theory, millennials are assigned the archetype of “Hero”, similar to the World War II generation. They are the stalwart defenders of a system during a great unravelling. They are stoic and unquestioning, facing one calamity after another. Despite some reservations about generational theory, I have some sympathy with that perspective."

"MAHA has turned out to be a Trojan Horse...Kennedy just came out and said his vision for everybody in America is [to] have a wearable, which means he's the Judas Goat walking everybody into the control grid."

The ancient practice of speaking simply and thinking carefully

"When Philip wrote to them, "If I invade Laconia, I will drive you all out of house and home," they only wrote back, "If." And when king Demetrius was indignant and cried out, "The Lacedæmonians have only sent me one ambassador," the ambassador was not frightened but said, "Yes, one to one man." Certainly among the ancients men of few words were admired. So the Amphictyones did not write extracts from the Iliad or Odyssey, or the Pæans of Pindar, in the temple of Pythian Apollo at Delphi, but "Know thyself," "Not too much of anything," and "Be a surety, trouble is near;" so much did they admire compactness and simplicity of speech, combining brevity with shrewdness of mind. (Plutarch)

"67% of EV sales are leases. When the $7500 credit ends 9/30/25 the $299 24 month Model 3 lease becomes $625 a month. What do you think will happen to sales?" - anon, r/RealTesla, 03JUL2025

(I independently verified the lessee is on the hook for the credit, and 67% of EV sales are leases.)

"Think of it as a Zen koan. To be seen by women, you must stop seeing them. To be heard by women, you must stop listening to them. And to be respected by women, you must stop making them the embodiment of all you’re chasing.

The truth is that all that hoping and reverencing and desperately prancing about accomplishes is to render you a despicable clown. Because if you can’t find value in yourself, no woman is going to do so either."

A new study suggests the health benefits of having a simple hot bath are greater than the benefits of a traditional or infrared sauna. Hot baths provided greater cardiometabolic benefits, comparable to exercise, and a surprising boost to immune function.

NEW - Study reveals that the herbicide Diquat, used in Roundup's updated "safer" formulas, poses significant health risks. It is "200 times more chronically toxic than glyphosate," is widely applied in U.S. agriculture, despite being banned in the UK, EU, China, and other countries.
