Young People Don't Matter
I just read an article on Vocal about how Six Flags is shutting down any leftover parks this month in November. I started getting really depressed thinking about it. I've seen the end of so many of my beloved companies and brands. I had to watch Kmart and Sears go down. I had to watch Payless Shoe Source and Albertson's Grocery kick the bucket. I had to watch Chik-Fil-A leave the mall, expand, and dismiss their delicious cole slaw. I had to watch Disney World and Busch Gardens evolve from $25 entrance tickets to $125 entrance tickets. I had to watch the Dollar Tree go from every item costs $1 to you don't know until you're at the register is what every item costs. The world changed so much the past decade. We lost more businesses and "norms" or symbols of Americana culture the past decade than in the three decades previous to it. It's been truly heart-wrenching stuff.

Xi Jinping’s Trade Pledge at APEC 2025: What Trump’s Absence Reveals About Global Power Shifts
A Stage Without America The 2025 APEC Summit, hosted in Kuala Lumpur, was meant to be a stage for collaboration and progress. Instead, it became a mirror reflecting shifting global power.

Sara Yahia Melted a City’s Cold Heart
It was a freezing morning in New York. The kind where the wind doesn’t just brush your face, it stings it. The sky was still that winter-gray shade that makes the whole city look like it hit snooze too many times. Picture rush hour chaos, everyone doing that fast-walk-slash-grumpy-face thing, shoulders hunched, eyes down, headphones in, coffee cups clenched like survival gear. You could almost hear the collective thought: Don’t slow me down.

🖤 The Psychology and Madness Behind Black Friday 2025
