Another week in the sauna that is summer in the northern hemisphere.

It was 107F yesterday, and I was like, "F this, I'm going for a walk!" I sit before you, still an idiot. Hydrate, rest up.

AND DREAM OF YOUR FALL FITS! 🤣

WATCH

Philip Glass — Etude no. 5 - Performed by the incredible composer and musician Timo Andres. Timo is stunning and also writes music that you're not sure what era it should be from...which makes it brilliant and beautiful. Watch this all the way through.

What We Do in the Shadows - This has been a sleeper favorite show for many friends of mine. I'm so glad they're back with a new season. Hearing Matt Berry drop the F-bomb never gets old, either.

READ

Fixer-Upper: How to Repair America's Broken Housing Systems - Economist Jenny Schuetz breaks down how America's housing problem (and infrastructure) problem is connected more to the local level than Federal. I'm nearly done reading it, but so far, it's inspiring, intimidating and heartbreaking.

If you don't want to read it, Ezra Klein had her on his podcast and they talk through a lot of it.

BUY

I will always be a sucker for anything NASA related and the new G-Shock/NASA/5610 watch combines the best of everything into my fav G-Shock. It might be sold out by the time this goes live, but buy ANY 5610 if you haven't yet. It syncs with the atomic clock, is waterproof, and solar powered. Fun watch.

Ok, your boy has diapers to change. See you all next week.
