Hi!
Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.
Keeping tabs on the decline of civilization:
Being ambivalent about college football means that I missed a giant Pop Tart self-sacrifice in front of a stadium full of people, meeting his death in a comically large toaster. Marina Abramović who???
The only good crypto hedge fund CEO is one who doesn’t exist.

Tunes to start the week with:
It’s really hard to find a job in the creative arts, so I thought I’d share this listing. Can’t vouch for the coworkers. There’s a new Park Hye Jin album with lots of good chillwave/techno vibes and she looks unethically hot on the album cover, which is always cool. And here are some “big” albums coming down the pike.
