My vote goes to ‘gathering people in my digital living room.’ I’m curious: How to make friends online versus offline? How to convert from online to offline and vice versa? What do we owe our friends, if anything? How much of a friendship can be /should be synchronous vs. asynchronous? Would we be psychologically better off if our social media posts were instead text messages? If our Substack posts were instead personalized emails?
two of my most popular posts ever were about tipping and drip pricing (i.e. what makes your concert tickets so expensive). I think people do want to fix these things!
I don't know what to do with all of these food pictures on my phone. Honestly I don't. Loved this machi

All good questions - I’m taking diligent notes!

I actually re-read your post on tipping as I wrote this haha - I agree people do want to fix them but I doubt we can urge much change.
This is healing
