165: r/malelivingspace, the great whale explosion of 1970, and the Patrick Bateman lifestyle

Are you even a young male professional if you don't have an Eames chair, artisan cocktail bar, and uncomfortable Ikea sectional? r/malelivingspace thinks not. Less cynically, it's a sub dedicated to men making the steps they need to start feeling organized, independent, and enthusiastic about their solo (often) living quarters. It's a great resource for young men looking for tips and tricks on how to feel more organized in a new city, where the rest of their world may feel disorganized. It's also an accidental commentary on the template men use to prove their compliance with a world that values fine-ish taste in art and design. What does that say about commercial design? I'll let you decide.
