• Tired and drained - I haven't been feeling much like posting the past few days. It's been close to a week of continuous harrassment and I'm both exhausted and not very enthusiastic about anything. The place where I get internet has an apparrent funeral reception happening since yesterday. A bit strange since I asked in last week's newsletter whether we should all wear black after reading the Verge's Twitter is dead piece.

  Just another bizaro coincidence, they only happen multiple times per day after all. #

• Early music history - I've been listening to the latest 500 songs episode all about the Beattles. It's been so many years since I've heard any of their music. I still remember it perfectly, every chord change, drum beat and weird sample. Lots of interesting stories about what was happening back in the times that led up to the music scenes that I grew up in. #

• New Podcasts and Media Publications - I've alluded to this previously, though I really love all the podcasts and media publications I read, I think we could have many more. I find myself going back to the same handfull and I just think there could be more variety.

  Are there such things in other languages that could be transkated by AI? I really want a few new points of view, new ways of looking at the world. That I think is one of my biggest wishes for 2024. #
