There's A Participant Prize For Those Mornings You Wake Up And Meditate, Yes? If So, I'll Send You A Mailing Address For The Trophy.

A REMINDER! I am shifting these should-be-daily(ish) missives over to Medium, so please don’t forget to sign up here.

Darlings, it’s Wednesday, it’s nearly mid-August (eeeeek) and I’ve resisted the urge to slam back two cups of coffee before sitting down to ye old laptop this morning, which means I get to use my favorite gif:

TO THE INTERWEBS

• I want to hate this marketing bandwagon chasing, but I just can’t: ‘‘Sharknado’ Channels ‘Barbie’ as B-Movie Hit Gets New Poster, Trailer Ahead of 10th Anniversary Theatrical Release (Exclusive)’ (The Hollywood Reporter)

• Casey Newton, hear! hear! I LOLed at this line: “…Musk is essentially playing Ric Flair without the charisma”: ‘It’s time to change how we cover Elon Musk’ (Platformer)

• This is from last year, but does a good job of summing up the feeling of what I often prefer hotels over Airbnbs: ‘Relax In Our Fragile Airbnb: Just don’t touch any of our expensive, easily broken decor’ (Slackjaw)

• I read Hunter Walk because he’s the antidote to the crazy pills I feel like I’m taking whenever I read about venture capital trends: ‘“Winners Take None:” Coworking, Self Storage, Scooters Have Burned Billions of Investor Dollars and Maybe Were Never ‘Tech Companies’’

• And finally, ‘”Hank the Tank," Lake Tahoe bear linked to at least 21 home invasions, has been captured’ (CBS News) - Look, I’m going to say it because you are all thinking it: #justiceforhank

Have I told you lately that you’re lovely? Drink some water, get outside, and be kind to each other, won’t you?
