Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My Costco now dedicates 4 rows of shelf space to protein supplements—powders, bars, shakes, jerky. Two yrs ago this category was an end cap of old folks’ shakes in the pharmacy corner. 000

Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Best bubble I ever lived in was the entire decade of the 90s in NOLA. Live music, WWOZ, the food, college and HS sports. We didn’t have a lot of bandwidth anyway—outset of careers, kids born—and the city provided more than enough. I’m a blank on 90s natl pop culture. No regerts. 020

Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Very astute observation. The kicker, for me, is that even after being betrayed by “the few,” they’re still voting for them. They don’t talk about the pictures of great gram and gramps at the Kokomo Klan rallies in the 20s, but they’re cheering for ICE. 000

Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 21/09/2026One of my pet theories is that in the early 00s, we stopped viewing NYC as the national model of sophistication, culture, glamor.
