Worthwhile article from Venkatesh Rao on a current social-economic state entitled ‘Premium Mediocre’:
Premium mediocre is the finest bottle of wine at Olive
Garden. Premium mediocre is cupcakes and froyo. Premium mediocre is
“truffle” oil on anything (no actual truffles are harmed in the making
of “truffle” oil), and extra-leg-room seats in Economy. Premium mediocre
is cruise ships, artisan pizza, Game of Thrones, and The Bellagio.
Premium mediocre is food that Instagrams better than it tastes.
Premium mediocre is Starbucks’ Italian names for drink
sizes, and its original pumpkin spice lattes featuring a staggering
absence of pumpkin in the preparation. Actually all the coffee at
Starbucks is premium mediocre. I like it anyway.
… Much of the manufactured cool of K-Pop (though not the subtly subversive Gangnam Style, whose sly commentary on Korean life takes some digging for non-Koreans to grok) is premium mediocre. Carlos Bueno
argues that Johnny Walker Black is premium mediocre in the Caribbean.
In Bollywood, the movies of Karan Johar are premium mediocre portrayals
of premium mediocre modern urban Indian life.
The entire idea of the country that is France is kinda
premium mediocre (K-Pop is a big hit there, not coincidentally). The
fact that Americans equate “French” with “classy” is proof of its
premium mediocrity (Switzerland is the actually elite European country).
At its broad, fuzzy edges, premium mediocre is an expansive concept; a global, cosmopolitan and nationalist cultural Big Tent: it is arguably both suburban and neourban, Red and Blue, containing Boomers and
X’ers. It includes bluetooth headsets favored by Red State farmers and
the tiki torches — designed for premium mediocre backyard barbecues —
favored by your friendly neighborhood Nazis. It includes everything
Trump-branded. It covers McMansions, insecure suburbia-dwelling Dodge Stratus owners and Bed, Bath, and Beyond shoppers. It includes gentrifying neighborhoods and ghost-town malls. It includes Netflix and chill. It includesBlue Apron meals.
And then the clouds parted and I made myself go to the “beach”
Yep it’s full on Lyme I really hope i caught it early enough to be treatable and so far it’s exactly like what I reading about and it’s No Fun.
Haven’t done much or left the house and feel like I can’t really.
