thats hot

Morning 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples. A dear friend just shipped me a squatty potty which I mistook as a laptop stand. Dual-threat. This reminded me of the squat (i.e., knees near or in your armpits) and its superiority to sitting. Teddy Roosevelt was a man known for such constant movement in his everyday life, that the only time he was seated was to read books (fluent in five languages). A crazy but successful guru on twitter removed all furniture from his home, leaving only a low-riding Japanese bed for sleeping while the rest of his activities are completed standing or squatting. It’s funny but there’s something to it. OK - let’s go.

☀️ That’s hot. There was a nontrivial segment of people on Twitter recently claiming that Barbie’s Margot Robbie is “mid” - meaning of average attractiveness. It is difficult to not connect this comment to what has happened to people’s brains in the last 10-20 years: swimming in porn, handheld screens, and tik tok. Hundreds of stunning humans bombarding us constantly, orders of magnitude more than our parents/grandparents would see IN REAL LIFE. And this is to say nothing of the presumption that most of these people are leveraging the best facetuning and photoshopping tools at their disposal. What is even “hot” anymore? 🍎Andrew's Take. How can a questioning mind not consider the long term effects this will have on mating/family formation in the coming years? Are long term relationships going to become a luxury only for the elite? While the middle class gets whittled down to dust - or worse - cold surgical critics of the human body, pointing fat fingers at her imperfections as the screen illuminates the gawker’s face in the quiet dark.

🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Tennis is THE sport to play throughout your life. It is in the data. Anyone who watched the gentlemen’s Wimbledon final over the weekend should be delighted by this fact. Tennis is undefeated and pickleball remains the little brother of ping pong.

How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions or hate speech.
