‘His favourite book was by Jordan Peterson, which was a massive ick’: how books perform on dating apps
Mentions of reading in Tinder bios are up 29% in the last year. But is searching for a fellow fan of one’s favourite author really a shortcut to compatibility?

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Buy. Paper. Books. (and download ownable ebooks onto your own devices) New from me at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-261/
One way to calm down a bit is to consider that there is a class of objects, replete with virtues, that can go a long way toward establishing an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity in your house: paper books. Paper books are yours alone, yours for keeps. The words they contain are beyond the reach of corruption or avarice; they can’t be altered or shut off from afar. Nobody can tell which books you have, or what time you started reading them, or how much time you spent on each page or what you highlighted there.
