Doctor Trends™ will see you 🩺🌡️🩻 a 2024 mid-year check-up

Given we're halfway through the year, let's take a moment to do a little diagnostic check on these times.

Please accept my apologies on this tardy post, which I intended to have up at the start of the month but it’s currently the latter end of the month, which I’m going to take as still “on time.”

Why does this matter? Because this is a mid-year check-up, to do a sort of diagnosis of the metaphysical body that is 2024. What is our temperature? What are the sounds rattling around our brain? How are we looking? What is our vibe? I’m curious about this less in terms of proving predictions right or wrong but more to try to define this year, in this moment, so we can look back and go “Wow, that was silly.” or “Fuck!! That turned into this?” As we stare down the barrel of the internet deleting itself, it’s good to mark time, to place sign-posts so that we can retrace our steps once we lose our minds.

So how is the year feeling? Grab your stethoscope and let’s dive into this diagnosis, ideally keeping references (a la, links) confined to previous Reports™.
