At my gym a heavily-tattooed black dude and an orthodox Jew with tassels under his shirt are trying to one-up each other on adjacent bench press stations. Jew bro just did 5 reps of 205. His neighbor is reaching for more plates pretending not to look over.
I ❤ Brooklyn.

I bought the collection book (Anatomy of Melancholy) and I reread it every few months. A Softer World was pure poetry.

My model: literally dozens of people assumed you're a dog fucker, but thousands saw an opportunity to pile on / signal their tribe's morals / troll. Random-target-of-the-day. Being more careful with your words wouldn't change their behavior, so there's no point worrying about it.

I've now hit 1,835 followers, and this is my 1,835th tweet. Have other people tracked when they hit the cross-over mark? It would be interesting to research, I feel like it can be a good indicator of future growth rate or ceiling in number of followers. pic.twitter.com/g8tUIJaHrR

A couple of places had props on that. I forgot which ones, I had like 10 tabs open with gambling sites of varying repute.

By popular request (OK, it was @jtbooth1021 and two friends) my Super Bowl prop game is back for the 6th year. Pick one in each box, add up the numbers, and you've got a fun game for people who can't tell football from handalmond.

Heh, I got featured on @TheBrowser two hours after sending the above tweet. By the way, it's well worth the monthly fee — I don't know who the best writer online is, but @robertcottrell is probably the best reader. superorganizers.substack.com/p/the-man-who-…

Shoulder-to-shoulder on my timeline: a white male supremacist icon feeling helpless against pigeons, while a Jewish nerd interviews a porn superstar about culture and consciousness. pic.twitter.com/Ib3ixZb0cB

What's the gender ratio? Or do you just start with a lot of bisexual women and tell them they can bring +1s of any flavor?

How do you get people comfortable who would normally feel awkward, pressured to perform, or self-conscious?

It's OK to stop pretending that gender ratios and the pressures of finding a date don't affect your professed politics. putanumonit.com/2020/01/26/ske…

This is the best month ever on Putanumonit, with almost 1000 daily hits. It beat months when I was shared on HackerNews, Browser, or MargRev. It came from two sources: Macedonia and Twitter. So thank you all for sharing, and check out the rest of the blog.

The end game is me just learning Japanese and leaving all of you behind to live a quiet and wholesome life on Japanese twitter.

I wouldn't really bet on it, but I certainly hope that culture will follow the economic incentive. Do we have data from Japan about working-class men jumping into eldercare?

P.S.
This was all about heterosexual dating. Gay dating is probably as great as its ever been with legal marriage and matching apps. But once the euphoria passes, they may also have to deal with issues of economics, their place in the culture, and integrating online with offline.

But the offline and blue-collar have a big cultural mountain to climb, especially the men. A lot of them will choose to go their own way, as will the casualties of the gender wars of the 2010s that had their brains permanently poisoned against the other gender. 😢

To wrap it up: I think that dating will actually get better for the online and the educated, as they learn to leverage the internet for meeting like-minded people offline. I literally have a personal blog with a "date me" button, 10 years from now it may not seem unusual.

A return to religion or community-based life can help the non-rich and urban find good dates, but there are two issues with it:
1. God doesn't exist.
2. Netflix and video games do, and they're often more fun than going out to deal with people.
