Last week, I created and tested 7 new recipes (for work and the blog). I cooked them multiple times. And then I cooked all our regular meals and (lunches and dinners and hot snacks) while ticking off some of the special meal requests on the “Recipe Request” list I have put up for the family. These extra things I cooked were elaborate. They have to be because they are special requests.

Let’s face it, the current music industry demands A LOT from artists. They need to post on social media, make videos, share personal stories, give insights into their music creation practices, network, do shows, be on podcasts, learn to code, and so on. What’s more, it’s all so fast-paced that it’s near impossible to cut through all the noise. With Myspace, people still felt they could safely express themselves. Then came Facebook and Twitter, where people loved how simple it was to make new connections and to stay up to date.

It’s always a brighter day when you get an unexpected dividend check in the mail. Sign up for The Global Impact Forum before midnight (May 31) and you will be getting a dividend in savings.

Belated birthday wishes to George Jetson, born July 31, 2022. Of course, we’re all more familiar with his life and adventures in the year 2062, as chronicled in perhaps the most important work of postwar futurism, The Jetsons. The cartoon premiered on September 23 in 1962, a pretty Up Wing year in an extraordinarily Up Wing decade. (Up Wing is my shorth… ncG1vNJzZmiekajBpr7PpZyaq5VjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89oZK2glWK5prPAnLBmp5ZiwamxjKOcraufo8ButdJmmJunpak%3D

Hi! Today’s episode is a solo voice note about my Sunday essay, Accounting for taste. In this ep I explore the online personalities that inspired me to think more deeply about what makes taste or style interesting, especially the people who make me afraid it’s all a charade (no offense!). I got lots of great emails about this newsletter so I’m happy to h… ncG1vNJzZmigkaGyurrAoaSapl6owqO%2F05qapGaTpLpwvI6tn55lp5q2s7CMmqWdZZWav6qxjKisrZ6ZqcA%3D

The last time we published a full analysis of the NYC for-hire vehicle (a/k/a TLC) fleet, excluding yellow cabs, was January 2022. With the recent reinstatement of the electric vehicle (EV) exemption to the FHV License Pause (a/k/a TLC Plate Cap), we thought it would be a good time to do some “TLC Fleet” analysis again.

“From Hayek’s perspective, a socialist economy could not realize its potential for innovation, since diverse entrepreneurs are not free to compete with one another for market share through new products and methods, diverse financiers are not free to bet on their private judgments in deciding which new ideas to back, and diverse creative types are not free to compete with one another for an entrepreneur to help develop their new ideas.
