These are all of my go-to email newsletters:

Snacks (formerly MarketSnacks) - digestible financial news
NextDraft - current events/“the most interesting news on the web”
BrainPickings - 1x week of very dense but fascinating cerebral discussion about anything
The usual suspects: adage, adweek, digiday, etc

Podcasts worth checking out:
- How I Built This
- Real Famous
- Google Method
- Snacks Daily
- Masters of Scale
- Tim Ferris Show

These are great recs. For podcasts, I’d throw in Recode Decode and Pivot, both are Kara Swisher’s, and The Ezra Klein Show. Tech is a prominent element but all three end up covering a lot of ground.

Briefs.

Kinda bummed. I’ve been single for 6 years (I’m 31 now). I live in ptown and talk to guys in Boston on tinder. Was talking to a guy for about a week who is my type. I asked if he wanted to FaceTime tonight and he said sure but caveated that he isn’t into long distance (ptown to Boston) and that we would most likely stick to chatting. Idk what’s wrong with me. Everyone tells me I’m a catch but guys I’m attracted to are never into me 😭 just needed to vent
