That was the steepest temperature drop I can remember in my time living here! Around 4:30 I was biking up the West Side Highway with friends, showing skin, heated up. We jumped on the 1 to Van Cortlandt and when we got out of the train 30 minutes later it was freezing! Easily a 15-20 degree drop.

I'm still trying to figure out the culture of Farcaster. It seems very laid back here. Shorter posts (despite a longer character limit!), more chill. People just posting about their day. Few seem to be worried about "making every post good". For this reason, casts get a lot more replies than other platforms. It feels more conversational. Also, the vibes are strongly wholesome and positive. Almost suspiciously so. How have I not seen someone seriously disagree with someone else yet!? It reminds me a bit of Something Awful's BYOB forum circa late 2000s. On the downside (for me), there seems to be a lack of serious intellectual rigor. Take the image below: not much new is being forged here, philosophically.

My name is Liam Rosen, and this is my far-st cast on Farcaster. My mission in life is to end the loneliness epidemic. I am attacking this problem from a number of angles: - I run socialfabric.nyc,. an aggregator of curated community portals here in NYC. - I published a guide on how to start a group chat for your apartment building (https://liamrosen.com/2024/11/14/how-to-start-a-group-chat-for-your-nyc-apartment-building), and have a goal of helping 26 such group chats get started before 2026. - I am writing a Beginner's Guide to Social Skills. - I’m a mentor for cabin.city, an org that teaches the social technology necessary to create resilient neighborhoods: hosting events, rallying neighbors, forging social ties, etc. - I am an organizer within Fractal (fractalnyc.com) and run the member community for Fractal Tech (fractaltechhub.com), a DIY hacker hub for ambitious, agentic, and prosocial founders and engineers in NYC. Let's create community together.
