Spoke Too Soon
Remember yesterday when I posted we had survived and things were back to normal? Yeah. About that.
This morning, just as I was settling in to start my workday from home - there was a bang outside and the power went out again. It's been out since then.
I ended up going into the office and charging things while I was there, but now I'm home and we have no clear ETA on when power will be restored. The power company confirms they are aware of it but it's just marked as possibly being fixed tomorrow by 3pm, which is their default time they've been using since before our power originally came back.
So, we'll see.

You are the sum of your five best friends. And that includes parasocial relationships.
I think this is very insightful and relevant to the modern era, politically and socially. It came from a Colin & Amir episode talking to Tim Ferriss. They were discussing the medium of longform podcasts and how if someone regularly listens to a multihour podcast that can sometimes mean they spend more time with the host in a week than people they consider their best friends, etc.
And given the absurd reality of the modern day, I wonder how much of this speaks to things going on today thanks to FOX News putting Trump directly into its viewers brain for hours each day, or Joe Rogan, etc.
