I’ve got Night Tracks playing over the office speakers and The Economist’s World In Brief podcast playing in an open-ear earbud. I’ve already read the top of The Wall Street Journal, Al-Jazeera and Foreign Policy and read the Politico UK morning brief, and now I’m eating figs and almonds while sorting the rest of the overnight email. The overnight incoming is mostly newsletters these days, which suits me – half a dozen little newspapers and a few zines is what it feels like
I caught the top of a User Mag post today:
In the early days of the internet, social media offered a space where anyone could casually post thoughts, fleeting moments, and feelings about the world. But lately, that culture has disappeared. It has been replaced by highly curated influencer content, manufactured viral slop, and it feels like everyone is just posting… less.
It feels chilly today – 16C.
