I feel like an important ‘third space’ when we were growing up was either your or my basements.

Now one of our third spaces is recreated whenever the three of us (you, me, adi) are together.

Third spaces seem like something that’s fluid and can basically spawn anywhere, when there’s people that make conversation flow easily and exude positive energy.

Great read as always. Pls never stop writing these 🙏🏽

Shreyas told me I absolutely must watch Severance despite me not being a TV guy. I watched the first season on the bike trainer, and while it was enjoyable, unfortunately this is kinda how I feel: https://x.com/chrisman/status/1898969836056941017 https://x.com/chrisman/status/1898971316373622868

Oh indeed, my screentime on that subreddit is nuts lol - surprisingly, there are a bunch of folks on Threads with interesting theories too..

honestly it's sort of beautiful, like the depth of layers to both the theories and the meta commentary on the theories...being on there has made me think that Severance the show isn't just what we see on TV but the all-week interactive experience of trying to figure things out - it's almost more of a game / show hybrid lol

dang don't tempt me onto Threads too

hope life will be less shitty for you. finally got some downtime to read this during work hour;) I would say my brain is still processing Silo a month after my wife and I finished it, it gets to your subconscious level somehow and we are feeling more tired than before a few months back. once the energy is back we will go for Severence. btw, a more general question: how do you decide what to write, or what not to write?
