Yes, yes I am loving 'mostly cool stuff'. I received that stockpiling news story and my first thought was why the serious lack of context?? How many lines do we need to read between to understand? (And I happened to be away from home in London...will I get a bag of crisps you think? I might need the cigarettes!)
Oh yes, the crisps would be a UK staple, wouldn't they? Shame I don't like salt & vinegar because I bet that'll be the default option. The news headlines are massively out of control lately and the EU one is what inspired me to write this round up mostly to despair together with other people when I read something that is a bit WTF 😂
This is great, Cristina. Really fun and really engaging. Ted Gioia does a similar thing but less regularly, when his scrapbook of unpublished thoughts calls to him, and that's always a gem. A miscellany newsletter most definitely sounds good. Anything you're interested in is surely going to be very interesting.
Thanks so much, Julian! Glad you enjoyed reading it. I’ve been thinking for a while of doing again a weekly quick round-up so leaving it open to a mix of content may be the key to not getting again writing burnout.

Always happy to read about cool stuff
I wouldn't have expected any less from you 😎
I loved it, short and snappy! Like conversation starters, but the good kind of conversations. 😊
