Jet Blue is all excited about its new fare structure

The New Neo Posted on November 12, 2019 by neoNovember 12, 2019

I got one of those “We’re so excited to be able to offer you something new and we’re sure you’ll love because it’s so fabulous!” emails today. It’s from Jet Blue, and they’re announcing a new and more complicated fare … Continue reading →

About those NeverTrump Republicans

The New Neo Posted on November 5, 2019 by neoNovember 5, 2019

We’ve already talked an awful lot here about the phenomenon of the NeverTrumpers on the right. Even so, this piece on the subject is well worth reading: Before President Trump’s explosive entrance onto the political scene, mainstream conservatism was somewhat … Continue reading →

Back spasms

The New Neo Posted on November 2, 2019 by neoNovember 2, 2019

I’ve had a bad back for over 30 years. Bad backs run in my family, and despite general athleticism (or maybe because of it?) three out of the four members of my family had serious and chronic disc problems and … Continue reading →

Are you exceptionally likeable?

The New Neo Posted on October 26, 2019 by neoOctober 26, 2019

I already know that I’m not. Some people like me exceptionally well. But I think most people find me a trifle odd. Maybe not just a trifle. And now I know why. I don’t fit this profile at all, and … Continue reading →

Aldi saves money, but I still don’t like it

The New Neo Posted on October 25, 2019 by neoOctober 25, 2019

I love to save money, so when I recently went to an Aldi market for the first time I expected it to become a new favorite. But I was surprised to find that I didn’t much like it. In fact, … Continue reading →

The left: principles vs. principles

The New Neo Posted on October 16, 2019 by neoOctober 16, 2019

Commenter “Mac” writes: I recently had an exchange with a leftist who explicitly rejected the significance of plain facts to the debate. For him the only *fact* that mattered was that his cause was morally right. It dawned on me … Continue reading →

“Customer service” of the Orwellian type

The New Neo Posted on October 12, 2019 by neoOctober 12, 2019

It costs money to hire people to answer phones, even if they live in Bangladesh or wherever they tend to be these days. So websites that pretend to have customer service actively discourage phone calls. The first way they do … Continue reading →

Neo’s not a he

The New Neo Posted on October 3, 2019 by neoOctober 3, 2019

The first couple of months I was blogging I didn’t post a photo of myself. I originally was completely anonymous, and publishing a photo didn’t even cross my mind. But I could not help but notice that all my readers … Continue reading →

“The American people are exhausted by this”

The New Neo Posted on September 27, 2019 by neoOctober 3, 2019

The title of this post is a direct quote from commenter “Cornhead” today on one of the posts about the Ukraine phone call and its fallout. I don’t know about the American people, although I suspect Cornhead is right. I … Continue reading →

My problem with graphics and symbols

The New Neo Posted on September 21, 2019 by neoSeptember 22, 2019

When I updated Firefox recently, I noticed that certain familiar and comforting words – “bookmarks,” for example – that used to point to the obvious and could be clicked on without much thought, have been replaced by symbols. And I … Continue reading →

Getting an education in the Big Apple: George Packer’s honesty, a parent’s dilemma

The New Neo Posted on September 14, 2019 by neoSeptember 14, 2019

It’s easy to mock George Packer for what he writes in this Atlantic essay about choosing a school for his son in New York City. But I find his essay heartbreaking as well as complex. He’s a well-meaning liberal who … Continue reading →

It turns out my mother’s stories were true

The New Neo Posted on September 13, 2019 by neoSeptember 13, 2019

My mother was an excellent writer. She was also a good storyteller—that is, an entertaining one—although she sometimes embellished things for the sake of the story. I know this for a fact because I sometimes heard her stories about me … Continue reading →
