We would like to imagine that the teaser about the issue we've been working on has elicited feelings of anticipation in your mind. Therefore, we can say: be on the lookout for our highly-anticipated next issue. Have a great rest of the week!
Just a reminder: send us all the newsletters you're loving for the issue coming out in a couple weeks. You can reply back to this email and we'll get it. See you next week!
Now that we're back at it, send us what you've been reading! And if you write a little blurb about your link, we'll totally copy/paste it and give you a shout-out.
Until next week,
That's it for this edition of Mark as Read. Thanks for reading and we hope to see all of your shining, relatively unwashed and unkempt selves ASAP.
A philosophical question: once all of Earth was addicted to some flavor of the most insidious and addictive invention of mankind throughout our sordid history, that dopamine soaked obsessive-compulsive mainlining of outrage and artificiality that is the infinite scroll (be it insta or FB or reddit or snap or TikTok or ....) was it inevitable we would have a crisis that banished 7B people to their houses to spend all their time infinitely scrolling? Correlation and causation etc etc
Maybe we should send this out more often while everyone is social distancing. What do you think? Would you like to have more issues with less links, or should we continue our established cadence of sending this with like thirty links at random? What we're asking is: How bored are you, really?
And there you have it. We'll be back in a relatively short period of time with brand-new links for 2020.
For real though y'all go sign up for Calvin's weekly meal prep newsletter. If you've ever had a Calvin-cooked meal and want his level of creativity busted down into small pieces and sent to you with recipes, shopping lists, and other tidbits to insert a la carte into your life just get signed up right meow. - Brian
Thanks, boo. Hope this list of links that almost certainly got clipped in Gmail keeps you busy during all those dull moments of chestnuts roasting on an open fire. - Calvin
That's it for this issue. If it's rainy and gloomy where you are like it is for us this weekend, we hope this brightened and/or warmed your day. See ya next time!
That's it for this issue. We weren't kidding, we're back into this thang and will endeavor to send you delightful things to read, watch, or listen to on a more regular basis.
Ahem... OK... there there... I guess we all learned something today. Apparently, un-monetized side-hustles take a back seat to moving to a new city, starting a new job, and buying a new house. Sorry about that.
We guarantee you another issue published in six months or less. Have a great holiday weekend!
