The luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything, these days.

I know the whole Nvidia scandal is a Big Deal™ but I’m not interested.
Someone was mocking an article about kids not spending enough time in “the real world.” Their point was that being online is being in the real world. I think convincing ourselves that being online is the same as being in the real world has been a huge mistake.
