Just a couple quick links to neat stuff today:
Frizzle Dresses
Someone's lovingly illustrated catalogue of each and every one of Ms. Frizzle's cool dresses, by episode. At the risk of being predictable, this one's maybe my favorite:
Mast Brothers: What Lies Behind the Beards
Five years old at this point, but I saw a mention of "Youtuber coffee brands" (ie stuff in custom bags with no other special qualities) and thought of it. A really thorough and detailed investigation into why Mast Brothers "bean to bar" chocolate was a grift. Some interesting info on how actual small-batch chocolate is made.
I think it's a good reminder that marketing is just grifts all the way down.
