Finding out about this UK publication for the first time -- @dgquarterly. Purposefully slow journalism reflecting on prior months. Obviously, my kind of periodical.

And a good interview with its Editor, Rob Orchard, on Monocle's The Stack po... https://t.co/swGQZgNYHw

Sometimes the Economist's book reviews are (probably) a just-as-good reading of the book's primary thesis and subsequent chapters. And while I'm curious about the topic, I get the idea behind Infantalised:

Agree with the take here (we need an "iTunes for streaming TV"), but doubt it'll ever happen — though it seems like YouTube TV is the closest to achieving this. One of the biggest hurdles for getting eyeballs in this major transition isn't paying for s... https://t.co/PVyJAPubph

Six Colors interview with Zach Gage on @puzzmotoday and specifically, Pile-up Poker. He's got an agreeable rationale for why it's limited to five hands per day, something I'd been curious about since it was launched. https://t.co/HSmkDTA6Ht

The most magical restaurant on the North Shore has, and always will be, New Scenic Cafe. https://t.co/sF9gkNr2kL

A lot of eyes on Minnesota over the past few days, and I've enjoyed seeing the country awash in midwestern banter. Also proud to see a representative from our state on the presidential ticket — Tim Walz is a tremendous, well-engineered asset and temper... https://t.co/aLuKR0J0Hn

Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario requires constant reading breaks in order to stomach the existential and horrifying material, but it stands as one of the most important politically speculative books of our time. 📚 https://t.co/sJdhldOpjz

The Riven remake is wonderful: https://t.co/t7pTpRebRF — huge kudos to @cyanworlds for pulling this off. My seven-year-old self has met my 39-year-old self and I feel every bit as satisfied with this experience.

Caught up on a few posts from @panzer, and came across a recommendation for a new camera app called Pure from Trevor Walsh. Reminds me of the early iOS days of experimental apps — no image preview, just tap anywhere on the screen, it captures a ph... https://t.co/l8yYu0uc8M

Very pleased to see Christina Nguyen win Best Midwest Chef at the James Beard Awards last night. The other nominees were equally as great, but she's been up for several years and it's such a well-deserved win for her restaurant, Hai Hai, a Southeast As... https://t.co/LdjIycs4gq

Kino was released today as a 1.0 — a powerful, fun new video recording app from Lux, the makers of the Halide photography app. Immediate download for me, foremost to just check out their neat intro-to-the-app brochure. Secondly, to record my dog, who j... https://t.co/pCsBA0X5aF

I concur with Gruber here — can't remember a single Pixar release since Toy Story 4, and even then, it felt odd to retread that franchise after so many years. The braintrust of original visionaries is essentially gone. Sad to see Pixar lose its way. https://t.co/4HBEioTftH

Love this quest to make a mass-manufactured paper bottle (alc bev brands Diagro and Pernod Richard, along with CPG giant P&G, lead the way). Biggest hurdles have been shedding a plastic lining, leaks and retaining carbonation, and weight issues during ... https://t.co/WpF7hdgGPL

I just received the email about Five Dials closing shop after a wonderful 16-year run. It's been a great digital literary magazine, curating a variety of writers for travelogues, reporting, interviews, and stories. Luckily, they posted their entire arc... https://t.co/yEUZMfSwId

Declaring it here: Dragon Quest IX has the best battle music in the series.
