Things I liked this week (Week 24, 2022)

Hi,

I come bearing links for your Friday morning:

1. Employers don't like the idea of a four-day week. Let's cancel the afternoon.

2. The word of the day is "alloception" — the perception of another, the detection of other. It’s an alloception event when a person working with an AI says, “I see someone in there.”

3. Making an easy one page a day diary by Austin Kleon.

4. Urban bear photography!

5. Good news, drinking beer is good for your gut health.

6. The author of Meet Me by the Fountain was on 99% Invisible. Learn all about the American mall.

If it's summer where you live I hope you take a moment to get some sun on your face, or pause to watch fireflies emerge at dusk, or go get a cold treat with some people you care about, or whatever makes summer special for you.

Warmly,

Guy
