The Magnificent Seven is the grandiose name of a weekly digest by me, Matthew McDowell-Sweet (https://msweet.net). The first issue went out on 19th July 2020 and it's now at 200+ issues and 1,600+ interesting things sent. It's released every Sunday at 0700 GMT/BST and contains seven things that elicited a “Whoa!”, a “Wow!”, a “Huh?” or a “Hmmm” from me—mostly text-intensive items like books, articles, blog posts or essays; sometimes projects, graphics, ideas, excerpts, videos, songs, tools, artists, art, creators, software, hardware etc.. To prevent my attention—and thus, your consumption—from converging on a single theme, every edition generally includes one item from each of the following categories: systems / ecology, philosophy, technology, movement / health, politics, and other (1x lighter, 1x heavier).
