  • Cannabis. At least most major cities in Europe/North America I find it really common now to openly smell cannabis all hours of the day. Combination of the strains being MUCH stronger and legalization. Even just 20 years back, of course in the Haight in SF or certain parts of NYC you’d smell it, or outside clubs/bars at night. But today I walk through Downtown SF at 830am and smell it every other block. Was in the design district in NYC a few weeks back and same deal.

    99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.













  • India is in the same boat of kids working themselves to death and committing way too early to career tracks so they don’t get left behind. Education imo shouldn’t be about the destination (at least before later in university or post grad) but should be about developing the whole person. But kids in these places (and in the US) are rarely afforded that luxury. The idea of something like folkehøjskole would be outright ludicrous in China, India, or the US but IME would do us so much net social positive.
