Since 2022 Swatch, in collaboration with Omega (Moon Swatch), Blancpain (Fifty Fathoms), and now Audemars Piguet (Royal Pop) has been the buzziest brand in the world of watches. But does it ping? #Swatch https://t.co/ViiV8VKOpx via @Hodinkee

Do you know: 82% of living material or biomass on land is plant life, comprising +350K species, ~30% if the earth's land mass is covered in grass species alone. There are more species of grass than birds on earth. #botanizing https://t.co/7Qt9u4AWRO

Handwriting is a key tool for learning and memory. Cursive provides cognitive benefits, and is personally and emotionally resonant. Handwriting strokes evolve as we do, becoming a "signature" for our entire development. #cursive https://t.co/WE5Y1Xy02h
