Now that AI has ruined the em-dash, I feel like I should start with some other writing quirk like New Yorker magazine style diaereses or perhaps writing ‘th’ with an eth or thorn.

This is the start of brand engagement week, where every commerce website you've ever given your email will send you at least one message. One great gift you can give to yourself this week is unsubscribe to the ones you're not interested in receiving mail from.

THE POPE HAS THROWN A RAVE

I am now experiencing FOMO about the Pope's rave

god, cyberpunk novels of my teenagerhood weren't weird ENOUGH
He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Hey. My friend’s shop is having a hard time right now. They could really use a hand if you’ve got a few bucks to kick their way. I think the shop is pretty great and if you’re around Portland I hope you can visit them too. www.gofundme.com/f/keep-books...

“Squirrel with a Pearl Earring” by Kelly Lyles, a Seattle artist. She’s done a series of these and they’re hilarious. This one seems like it has a jauntier air than some of the others. Just got it today, supporting local art is awesome.

"you wouldn't download a hockey team."
I guess Seattle's new Pro Hockey Team name is 'Torrent'. It will be really great if they can get sponsored by Napster.

Looking at my street past the windstorm last night, stuff is everywhere. We need a "SMALL CRAP ADVISORY" to mirror the "SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY" for boats.

are costco influencers a sign that the economy is in trouble, or just that there are a lot of different niches for influencers?

getting a lot of "new finds at costco this week!" vaguely promoted short term videos in the socials this week.
