an activity to break up the wine drinking
“The last thing I bought and loved was a sauna. It came on a truck from Sweden. It looks like a little troll barrel and I have it in my garden by one of the two lakes. It’s admittedly a faff, because you have to build a fire, then come back in the house and wait for it to heat up. But there’s nothing else to do where I live, in Northamptonshire. And it’s nice when people stay, because it means there is an activity to break up the wine drinking.” And: “enforced gift giving around Christmas and birthdays is a bourgeois horror.” // Edie Campbell’s supermodel secret: ‘I go to bed at 7.30pm’

Slop might save us from social media
If true, this is probably great. Obvs people engaging with each other - with strangers - on social media is too risky for society: “People aren’t connecting or conversing on social media like they used to; they’re just wading through slop, that is, low-effort, low-quality content produced at scale, often with AI, for engagement.” (Via Russel Davies.) // The Last Days Of Social Media
Same from elsewhere:
In the early days of the internet, social media offered a space where anyone could casually post thoughts, fleeting moments, and feelings about the world. But lately, that culture has disappeared. It has been replaced by highly curated influencer content, manufactured viral slop, and it feels like everyone is just posting… less.
That via Warren Ellis.
