@anthony.evasco w/ @londonolive1   10 Things I Would Do If I Were Twenty-one When we were 21, someone told us to, “Take the least sh*tty job you can find.” It stung. Young passion has a hard time hearing hard truths. But it was solid advice. The 1920s equivalent? “If I were a young writer, I would do hack work, if necessary, until I became able to write the Great American Novel.” Different era, same grit.  Wisdom, then and now. Drink it in, Dear Riders.   The Loafers That Keep Selling Out [Partner]  There’s a reason the Jaxon Loafers keep flying off the shelves. They nail the balance between modern style and timeless comfort. Think quiet luxury meets modern academia. Crafted with premium leather uppers that mold to your foot over time, these loafers add a polished edge to any look, from jeans to slacks. But don’t let the fashion fool you. They’re big on function, too. The lightweight (yet satisfyingly chunky) outsole and sneaker-like comfort make them perfect for all-day wear. They’re moving so fast they just dropped a new burgundy colorway. Delicious.  Get yours before they sell out (again).   SHOP NOW   Your Guide to Spotify Wrapped, 2024 Ah, it’s that time of year again. When Spotify reminds you of the artists you already knew you couldn’t stop playing. As if we all forgot who we’re obsessed with. Here’s a thought. Spend this end of year energy on the artists, not the listeners.  No offense, listeners.   How to Build a Library, According to Montaigne If you’re going to build a library, you might as well go full French philosopher. Montaigne was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance (read: so sophisticated, it tips into pretentious). And even he couldn’t resist the urge to paint words on his walls. Granted, his maxims were more ominous, like, “No one has ever known the truth and no one will know it.”  A far cry from “Live, Laugh, Love.”   The Incredible History of Mega Penguins, the Prehistoric Birds That Were As Tall As Humans Our friend just got a smart bird feeder with a built-in camera and app to identify birds. We’re hoping for some secondhand Nat-Geo-style mating footage. But honestly, we’d really prefer a Mega Penguin sighting.  That’s the kind of bird feeder content we’re here for.   The Mixer The 25 best films of 2024. What Bob Dylan thinks of his new biopic. One of the most iconic airports getting a major upgrade. The secret of orange cats, finally uncovered. This online archive of 2,100+ illustrations from Charles Dickens’ novels. 50 states, 50 weird roadside attractions.
