1. One of the top 50 things that makes me happy is putting on a tee warm from the dryer.
  2. I started a series here for what I read on a whim and I’m glad that I did. Even writing a quick impression of the books I read makes me feel like I’m engaging with them in a deeper level than just reading them and moving on immediately to the next read. This small transition between consuming and internalizing feels rich and brings me joy.
  3. Robin Sloan made a pop up newsletter. I had never seen this concept and feel that it's so cool and refreshing! In the age of unlimited info and data, a capsule that has a clear goal seems like such a good balance of putting stuff out there and keeping the concept tight.
  4. Useless lifehack of the week. My daughter has a mini microphone and Bluetooth speaker and I very quickly realized that if you softly blow your breath toward the microphone it sounds very reminiscent of ocean waves 🌊 when I did this my daughter swiped the mike and did ocean waves that were more stormy than calm 😅
  5. My daughter has a thing where she likes to playact things that have happened to her and it's never not funny when she ends up forcing us to reenact her most awkward moments. Like this week we had that to walk through her being sick MANY times 😅
    Mama BLEEEEH I threw up
    PRETEND THROW UP MAMAAAA
    I need a pretend bath
    Bleeeehhhhhh
    She also accused me of pilfering her blanket which I was merely disinfecting form her plague 😂
  6. I mentioned this before but I am NURTURING my detective bro on Disco Elysium. No bribery, in bed by 22:00, basic hygiene on the daily paired with clean living and being nice to my buddy Detective Kim 😂 It's so bad that the only notable Steam achievements I've gotten were: Goodest of Good Cops and Sorriest Cop. Going full on Tamagotchi Mama for this mess of a character was not on my bingo card going into this but I dig it!
  7. Current Obsessions: Disco Elysium, Trance, rain soun videos that make the TV look like I am looking out a window.

Information capitalism is an intensified form of capitalism. Unlike industrial capitalism, it commodifies not just the material world but the immaterial world. Life itself takes on the form of a commodity. Human relationships are commercialized wholesale. Social media exploits all communication. Platforms such as Airbnb commercialize hospitality.
