Hello everyone! Today is Labor Day in America. This holiday has a long and important history: it celebrates the meaningful contribution of not wearing white to our national autumnal aesthetic. Or something like that. I don’t know—it is doesn’t invole a traditional feast or gift exchange, I don’t consider it a real holiday.
In the spirit of not doing anything work-like today, I’m not going to write you a long email. Instead, I’m taking the easy way out again! Here’s a short roundup of fun stuff I’ve seen recently.
🤳 Spontaneous human cooperation.
🗡 How Ocarina of Time is a masterclass in subtext. Dives into various themes underlying the story.
🏴 A Scot tries to say “purple burglar alarm”.
☢️ How an entire city was contaminated by radioactive salt.
🐴 Inserting live-action film into scenes from Skyrim is apparently a genre, and I’m loving it.
