Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Never seen a more ominous cereal ad in my life
discontinuedfoods.bsky.social Discontinued Foods! @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social · Jun 18
Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Cereal (1981-circa 1995): A line of flake cereals, each made with a different whole grain ("the germ, the bran, everything!"), and boasting no added sugar. Initially available in Corn, Rye, Wheat, and Barley varieties.
A cloudy sky above a sprawling wheat field, filled with white cereal boxes. Each box has the image of a different grain--corn, rye, wheat, and barley, and an ad copy noting that this is the first line of flaked whole grain cereal with no added sugar. There is a picture of the cereal in a bowl with a spoon, next to 2 pieces of buttered toast, orange juice, and milk

This reminds me of a great reading comprehension test that Matt Levine wrote:

www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
Not legal advice Here’s a little reading comprehension quiz. Read the following paragraph and then answer the question at the end. You are an art dealer. A woman walks into your gallery and says, enunciating very clearly, “hello, I am a drug dealer, I have a lot of money and would like to launder it using art. Can you help me?” You explain to her the basics of art-based money laundering: She can use her drug money to buy art from you, with no real record of the transaction; later, she can say that she inherited the art or bought it cheap at a yard sale, and sell it for a lot of clean taxable money. She says “ah great thank you very much, I will be back with some drug money that I have earned by dealing drugs.” Later she comes back and says “hello, it’s me again, remember, the drug dealer?” She hands you a bag of money and says: “I would like to buy some art with this money, which smells like drugs. Smell it, see? Drugs. I guess I need to launder it, ha ha ha. To get the smell out. Because it smells like drugs. Because I got it from selling drugs. Because I am a drug dealer.” The question is: What does this woman do for a living? If you answered “she’s a drug dealer” you are definitely in prison right now because the only possible answer is “she’s a police officer.” Here’s a fun New York Times story

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?

Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.

One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

I been saying.

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
It’s weird that Americans call an abrupt departure an ‘Irish goodbye’. If you’ve ever grown stubble waiting for two Irish people to leave each other’s company you’ll know just how bizarre this term is. Whole afternoons of my childhood were spent outside our front door, saying goodbye to visitors. And that’s what this feels like; those extended, clingy little stand-offs we had every weekend as kids, when visitors were ushered out to their car by the entire family. At this point, unless your parents were psychopaths or had started a small fire that demanded their attention, another full-length conversation would kick off, extending their visit by 40 minutes at least. This took place over the roof of the car, or a gate post, and the game was for each adult to make it clear they didn’t want it to end, but without ever being so gauche as to say so. It was basically an extended rendition of ‘no, you hang up’, but for taciturn Irish dads. In the hands of a true master, this parting chat could last longer than the original visit. Fresh rounds of tea would be discreetly placed nearby, at which point all the children would have neatly slipped away to get in some bonus playing.

Alt text for those who need it. This is amazing.
Saved by Stoppard Sir, In 1993 my wife and I went to see the first production of Arcadia by Tom Stoppard (obituary, Dec I), and in the interval I experienced a Damascene conversion. As a clinical scientist I was trying to understand the enigma of the behaviour of breast cancer, the assumption being that it grew in a linear trajectory spitting off metastases on its way. In the first act of Arcadia, Thomasina asks her tutor, Septimus: "If there is an equation for a curve like a bell, there must be an equation for one like a bluebell, and if a bluebell, why not a rose?" With that Stoppard explains chaos theory, which better explains the behaviour of breast cancer. At the point of diagnosis, the cancer must have already scattered cancer cells into the circulation that nest latent in distant organs. The consequence of that hypothesis was the birth of "adjuvant systemic chemotherapy", ", and rapidly we saw a striking fall of the curve that illustrated patients' survival. Stoppard never learnt how many lives he saved by writing Arcadia. Michael Baum Professor emeritus of surgery; visiting professor of medical humanities, UCL r.
