hooked on a feeling

I'm high on believing

Hi!

Thanks for opening this email/reading this post.

me, when I’m facing charges for the same law I used years earlier to take down the mafia and can’t use “9/11” as a defense

The exact right serving of links to be informed, but not overwhelmed:

• Is the economy good? Vibes say no, but the data shows otherwise.

• Girl Talk has been very quiet ever since this mashup dropped.

• An enlightening (and heartbreaking) essay on Postpartum psychosis.

• A cheeky little send-up of corporate “empathy.” If you’ve blown through your New Yorker articles for the month, I’ve included a choice morsel below.

• And in shocking news, the food stamp song guy is actually one of us - dumb and trying his hardest. Who amongst us hasn’t made a viral pop country song decrying strangers’ food choices, which is then picked up by conservatives as an anthem, despite your anti-establishment ideology?

Tunes to start the week with:

I’ve seen a trend floating around of people posting their Top 20 songs (fun to look through those comments BTW), and I simply could not resist the siren call for mixtapes. I took the prompt to mean 20 songs I’d listen to on their own, anytime, anywhere, not like the 20 greatest songs ever made. My desert island tracks!
