Flipping off Cybertrucks
And other coping mechanisms. Plus: Passport Bros, A.I. Jack Dawson, golden age sex, Skims as the new MAGA hat, and more.
It’s Sunday. Oof. In this week’s roundup, I’m skipping the worst stuff. Plenty of days left for that. Instead, we’ve got a mutual aid how-to, a throwback to GI Jane, a history of cunning linguists, and much more.
A programming note: no essay this Thursday on account of my book deadline. Back to normal next week.

Psst, Skims are the new MAGA hat. Pass it along.
Women are talking about sex in their 50s and 60s on
’s comment thread. “I’ve found that younger men are very much into me and I love them,” writes one woman. “I’ve never felt more alive.”Oh no, I hate that I just learned about Passport Bros. Now you have to learn, too: They’re men who “seek countries where relationships and societal dynamics haven’t been heavily altered by modern societal shifts” and look “for women who value traditional masculine qualities,” per the website Knowledge for Men.
