In The Future, Generational Wealth Will Be Measured In Personal Air Conditioner Units.
Darlings! It’s still heat wave city here in the Bay Area, and while I know that friends in other city do not understand why we’re all sweating and wilting and whining on our video calls, I would like to remind you all that it was 85 degrees in my apartment because air conditioning is but a mythical creature within the 49 square miles of San Francisco. Did I purchase a neck fan? Yes. Have a made a cornucopia of frozen treats for my dog? Yes. And am I seriously tempted to just lie on my floor and nap today instead of attending to the various adult commitments I’ve laid in front of me? Also yes.
TO THE INTERNET
If you’re like me and so many of my friends and colleagues, you’re probably a bit fixated on the drama emanating from the Don’t Worry Darling press tour, obsessively checking Twitter to see if there are any further morsels of chaos to sink our gossip-ravenous teeth into (and if you’re not following, good for you and your life choices, excuse me while I continue to rummage through the pop culture dumpster for treasures). But while all if it is leading me to rather boring questions (didn’t they have press commitments as a part of their contract for the movie? how is Gemma Chan so absolutely perfect?) at least we can all agree that Chris Pine is perfection: I Don’t Care About The iPhone 14 Because Chris Pine Uses A Disposable Camera (BuzzFeed)
I LOVE this headline, even though the actual subject of the article woefully disappoints in comparison to what could have been (actual masked critters in motion): The Raccoons of Central Park Move in Packs and Go Fast. On Bikes. (The New York Times)
No way this could go horribly awry, nope nope nope: Peter Thiel’s Investment Firm Is Backing a Menstrual Cycle-Focused ‘Femtech’ Company (Vice)
I just can’t, the cravenness is just too much: In new ads, GOP candidates brazenly misrepresent their position on abortion (Popular Information)
And finally, related to the above: Harry Styles-fueled feather boa shortage wreaks havoc on NYC: ‘We’re completely sold out’ (NY Post)
That’s it, that’s all! Drink some water, stay inside if you’re in the middle of a heat wave, and be kind to yourself, won’t you?
xoxo Amy
