@shakinaventer by @dirkodie   Interview with Gary Indiana Every once in a while, words have the ability to slice through the infinite stream of content we’re all drowning in daily. Yesterday, Gary Indiana carried the sword that cut through our algorithms. Case in point: “The more people claim what they’re telling or showing is real, the further it is from the truth.” Sharp, eh?  Read Gary Indiana. You’ll be better for it. Start here.   How to Upgrade Your Everyday in 60 Seconds [Partner]  What’s the ROI on 60 seconds?

Huel Black Edition is the ultimate high-protein, complete meal. It's fuel for the modern man. No cooking. No clean-up. Just scoop, shake, and go. At just $2.65 per serving, it’s the kind of smart investment your day—and your body—deserves. Must taste terrible, right? Wrong.

Congrats. Now all you need is period paper, iron gall ink, and a sharp quill. Voilà—your first forgery! Literary fakery has been around as long as there’s been an audience to fool, and some of it is so skillful you can’t help but be impressed. But is it art? Or just a really convincing lie?  Decide for yourself.   Why We Value a Sense of Humor (And Distrust People Who Take Themselves Too Seriously) Having a sense of humor doesn’t mean you’re funny. It means you get funny. Jokes are only one half of the equation in humor. Laughter is the other. We dissect the difference here to point out that anybody can and should have a sense of humor. Even if you don’t know how to craft a joke.  LOL.   Struggling Over a Big Life Decision? Math Says You Should Use the “37 Percent Rule” Being a good decision maker is as vital as having a sense of humor. Especially in the Information Age, where decisions are made at the speed of email. The best decision makers aren’t the ones who know what to say Yes to.  They’re the ones who know what to say No to.   The Mixer How to eat escargot like a pro. The best time to visit the Galapagos🔺 and how to do it. A trick to stop worrying about what other people think of you. The difference between a psychiatrist and a therapist. How to pour the perfect Guinness. A deep dive into every season of Saturday Night Live. The hairstylist turning buzzcuts into an art form. It takes just 60 seconds to upgrade your everyday.* *Partner     /GTFO @ricardobrazb | Bolivia     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
