Without like-minded peers, ambitious people become suffocated by life

Great short article to not forget the power it has to be surrounded with people that push you.

There are no stupid mistakes.

There are mistakes. These are moments when reality teaches us something.

And there’s stupid. This is what happens when we refuse to learn from our mistakes.

Pandemic study shows distraction of social media may suck up the time and energy that allow us to find new passions

Images were al­ways pro­duced col­lec­tively and in abun­dance; the re­cent drive (historically speak­ing) to en­close them for in­di­vid­ual profit must be over­come.

Great read

The past couple of years has left us with a joy deficit. When we picture a post-Covid world, we imagine having our old lives back. But we can actually go a step further and make up for the missed experiences, flipping the deficit into a surplus. If Covid has given us anything, it’s a rare chance for a reset. Let’s take it.

Depressing math indeed, but it is always better to be aware so we can do something about it. Than ignoring the inevitable.

It’s an ode to the video store experience and a nostalgia trip for anyone who remembers the trailers playing before movies on VHS, or having to rewind the tape before you return it. For many of us, the video store wasn’t just a place to rent movies, but a place to hang out and talk film. It was a vastly more social experience than sitting at home scrolling through thumbnails online. We have an almost endless stream of entertainment available at the click of a button, which makes it all the more amazing that a little independent video store can survive in 2020.

I will really miss these places, great memories.
