Welcome back to my newsletter where I share short, poorly edited notes about stuff I find interesting. When I was 13, I wrote an essay arguing that Winnipeg was better than Edmonton. I had moved from one city to the other the year before, and I was still processing what had been a pretty stressful transition (it involved getting my first period the night before we set off on a 12-hour drive across the prairies among a host of other indignities). But I wasn’t self aware enough to express all this, so instead I channelled my frustration into a blistering compare and contrast essay using such salient metrics as size and population density to prove my feelings about my new home had a basis in hard facts.
