And this is Turin, the Detroit of Italy. Itโ€™s hard to see these days, with Fiat having shrunk like 99% from its peak, but this was very much Motor City for most of the 20th century.

See, the benefits of a Classical education include that Eratosthenes was treated as basically current events. One big downside is that we skipped basically the entire 20th century, but that is because here in Italy most of it is still live politics being actively litigated.

And yes, I also do my best to teach both my sons to be the sort of suitors their eventual girlfriendsโ€™ parents wonโ€™t need to worry about โ€” beyond, yโ€™know, the usual (thinks back to my own teenage years, starts sweating profusely)

The closer my daughter gets to teen age, the more I think the conversation with would-be suitors will go something like this: โ€œokay son, here are a couple of tips that may help you survive the first date; after that, youโ€™re on your ownโ€. Just like her mother, that one (complimentary).

๐Ÿ“บ TVs will now show ads when idle, on top of capturing whatever is displayed on them. This would be why none of the screens in my house have ever been connected to the net: I run my apps on AppleTVs, which I trust *slightly* more.

I need all content platforms to understand that, far from enticing me to spend more time with them than their competitors, their nagging and interruptions make me want to spend *less* time with them. I already have more stuff to watch and read than time; getting in my way is a no-no.

"Moist" has never been one of my favourite words, but it should never be the answer to "How do you like your Boeing Rudder Actuators":

For a second, I just remembered that tech bros and Paris Hilton were shilling those horrible monkey digital art avatars to everyone & trying to convince us all that they would be very valuable several months back & now we have all mostly forgotten them but holy hell, this year has been a decade.
