@troybflying_photography w/ @katyonok   Brando at 100: The Enduring Influence of the Hollywood Rebel While reading this celebration of Brando’s influence on Hollywood, we wondered if there was a modern equivalent. Probably not. Different times call for different folks. But here’s the closest we came up with. Seth Rogen. He’s kind of punk like Brando in a buck-the-system kind of way. But Brando was leather-jacket cool. Rogen is make-my-own-ash-trays cool.  Times have changed. But cool is cool. (The Saturday Evening Post🔺)   How Drinking Water Can Actually Dehydrate You, and What to Do About It [Partner]  Mind blown. For our entire lives, we’ve been told to drink eight glasses of water a day, thirsty or not. But here’s the modern truth. Drinking beyond thirst isn’t a great idea because thirst is the way our bodies regulate blood volume and fluid balance. And when you drink plain water beyond thirst, it dilutes blood electrolyte levels (especially sodium levels) and leads to nasty consequences. The solution isn’t to stop drinking water, though. It’s to drink water plus electrolytes.

If it was as easy as it reads, everyone would be phenomenal at it. And we both know that’s not the case. Communicating with some people is like having a conversation with Siri. Despite your darnedest efforts, miscommunications will happen. You can’t change those people.  All you can do is work on your listening skills. (Harvard Business Review🔺)   The Smart Traveller’s Guide to Living Out of a Suitcase Here’s an outline of the last six weeks of our life: Orlando for a video shoot, home a day, Europe with our wife, home two days, Philly for a dinner, home one week, house hunting in new city. Now, we’re back. And while it sounds kind of chaotic on paper, it didn’t feel that way. Because when you get the travel essentials down, you can live out of a suitcase easily.  Pack like a pro.   Shock, Awe, and Fun: How David Jones Became David Bowie Suzi Ronson was David Bowie’s stylist.

We’re not going to read the book.  This little appetizer of it was perfect for our appetite.   The Mixer Could a telescope ever see the beginning of time?
