Some interesting stuff about Cory Doctorow's background in there. Still not sure i totally buy his whole theory of "enshittifcation" but the article didn't really dig into it super deeply.

Can one of you who is an NYT subscriber send me a gift link to this article? Very curious about it!

Even the lighting is the same as when you were a kid. I don't know why exactly but the Friday night lights really do hit different. You go to a night NFL or college game -- it doesn't look or feel the same at all. High school games have more like glare or something? A very unique atmosphere.

Went with friends Friday night to the local high school football game. They're a very big deal around here. People tailgate across the street from the stadium! Pretty much the whole town (except for the killjoys who send their kids to the private christian academy) rallies around the football team.

One thing that really struck me: going to a friday night high school game is just about the most nostalgic experience you can have. It's like a time warp. Because going to a game today is exactly like it was in 1992 or whatever. Basically nothing has changed other than the shoulder pads look smaller now. They still have the ambulance parked next to the bleachers, there's a snack bar to raise money for the team, there are kids running around eveyrwhere, the local cops are walking around shaking hands, they got the girls who wave the flags with the marching band still. None of it has been updated in any perceivable way. You really can just RETVRN.

i'm very partial to Shure SE215 earbuds. but the key is to make sure you get foam tips. The silicon ones never stay well and don't isolate well.

With the foam tips you squeeze them then put them in your ear and they expand inside your ear to fit snug.

Have you ever watched this entire video? You gotta watch the entire thing. It's like a play in three acts. It's the most dramatic race in motorsports history possibly, and the guy who wins the race is seriously maybe the most talented driver ever. I watch it with the Botswana Boys every once in a while. They absolutely love it.
