I should change my career to a “how to talk to your kids about their inheritance consultant”. I think it would be pretty easy.

Dear Diary:I accompanied my friend Judy to an auto body shop in the Bronx to help her retrieve her property from her car, which was totaled when she hit a deer upstate.We readily accepted the mechanic’s kind offer to drive us to the subway station with our heavy bags.Before entering the subway, we offered Judy’s long-handled snow-removal brush, which she no longer needed, to a man at a corner fruit stand. He took it happily and offered two apples in return.On the ride back to Manhattan, Judy gave one of the apples to a homeless woman; she too accepted with gratitude.An unfortunate event for a deer resulted in thoughtful deeds that were satisfying to several people.

It's almost like an inverted quid-ag, ostensibly social justice and wealth inequality concerned, but still subtly from the perspective of the wealthy (framed as "why aren't they on rich people's instagrams" as opposed to like "the hidden labor that makes wealthy lifestyles possible." )

“There’s a dawning consciousness emerging in Silicon Valley as people recognize that their conventional success isn’t necessarily making the world a better place,” said Mr. Tauber, 34, a former Google product manager and start-up executive coach. “The C.E.O.s, inside they’re hurting. They can’t sleep at night.”

There's a dawning consciousness emerging in Silicon Valley as CEOs recognize that they are shallow, clueless zealots, adrift in a world they do not understand except through the trivialities with which they've crammed their minds.

bushwickdaily is generally a crushing thing to scroll through, just a delirious parade of gentrification boosterism with a sad veneer of hippitude. "feeling like some kind of bourgeois Brooklyn refugee" is particularly rich though. nice that the comments are going after him, i feel like 90% of the stuff on that site nobody even reads (which is good) or if they do nobody notices how fucked it is (which is bad).
