Status Updates From No New Things: A Radically ...

Going into 2026 trying to cure myself

Hmm. Her writing has improved but I'm not sure I'm the intended audience. I don't have $700 of subscriptions a month. $34 for the newspaper, $7 for ad-free public tv streaming. I already don't use Amazon or BNPL or subscribe and save or subscription "discovery" boxes, and I already check second hand. I don't use social media other than YouTube so I can't cut it out, but also can't do a ton of her action items.

The message is reasonable if a bit tepid...but I can NOT STAND her writing. "So" does not begin a sentence. "Bad News Bears" and "coinkydink" belong in your TikTok not serious writing by a professor of marketing! It reads like an awkward boomer read up on 2000s millennial slang and then decided that "like" in the middle of a sentence was now a publishable way to write. ACK.
