I'm writing a book about the invasion of privacy case my great aunt Kate Walton litigated against Florida icon Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. The next 9 Sundays will share a chapter from a timely section.
The tingling in your neck might be ASMR, which I learned today is trending online.
As Andrew Egger explained in The Bulwark, ASMR videos use video cues to create feelings of relaxation and euphoria, or “tingles.” To wit:
"On Thursday the White House posted on X a 40-second video that purported to be of migrants, in shackles and chains, faceless as the chains clank, with the caption “ASMR: Illegal Alien Deportation Flight.”
Elon Musk posted over the video: “Haha wow,” with an emoji of a troll and a gold medal.*
As JD Vance told the world: The enemy today is on the inside.

Great writing, Billy! My husband and I were very glad to met you in Lakeland. Hope you send out emails to all of us regarding the next meeting, hope you include a zoom component! (Set computer on table and let zoom proceed, listen to discussion at table, ignoring those on zoom since they could not physically make the meeting.....but they still get to "listen in".) Thanks!

That’s a really good idea… I’ll see if I can
Make that work

You may be taking that tingling a wee bit more literally than I meant it lol. But I appreciate the diagnosis.
It's the world we live in.
