- Work Ruined Email
If you hate email, it’s probably because you work an office job where wrangling your messages is central to getting things done. Tasks arrive unbidden, dispatched impersonally from silent co-workers sitting mere feet away and stacked into a giant pile with no end.It wasn’t always like this. In the past, managers might have used computers to create or review reports or ledgers. But the job itself remained elsewhere—on the phone with clients or prospects, in meetings with teammates or executives, and so on.Email changed all that. The inbox became a to-do list, and everything started to flow through it. The ting of a new email elicits panic because it signals the arrival of a new toil: a new assignment from a boss, a request from a colleague, a policy notice from human resources, an announcement from management, a networking request from a stranger. You didn’t ask for any of these,… .....

Their entrances followed a script: One by one, they entered the eatery's outdoor terrace, immediately whipped out a phone, and began taking photos and videos. One young woman retraced her steps through the entrance four times as a friend filmed her from different angles. Another held her phone aloft for a selfie while twirling a cloud of cotton candy. Others rushed to the porch's edge to take yet more selfies. Two boys posed in similar-looking tracksuits before one stripped off his hoodie to soak in the 85-degree weather.The DJ, Lela B—also an Instagram influencer, according to one of the company’s press representatives—was playing clean, radio-friendly versions of top 40 hits. The crowd wore crop tops, layers of mesh, lots of neon, and, for roughly 40 percent of… ..... Read More.3 weeks ago
- Astrology Memes Are for Joking About Your FeelingsIn a recent post on Courtney Perkins’s Instagram account, two gray-haired women stand with their arms around each other, their gazes purposeful, their mouths unsmiling. It’s not clear who they are or what they’re doing, but the two have planned their outfits for the occasion: One woman is wearing a turquoise T-shirt that says “I get us out of trouble” in a white block print. Next to her, the second woman’s coral shirt declares, “I get us into trouble.” She also wears sunglasses, presumably because she’s the cool one.To make the photo into a meme, Perkins, a 24-year-old comedy writer living in Los Angeles, divvied up the 12 zodiac signs under the two shirts’ proclamations. She then posted the finished product to @notallgeminis, an astrology meme account she created in 2017 that now has nearly half a million followers. The comments underneath the post are full of thousands of people,… ..... Read More.3 weeks ago
- Candy Land Was Invented for Polio Wards
If you were a child at some point in the last 70 years, odds are you played the board game Candy Land. According to the toy historian Tim Walsh, a staggering 94 percent of mothers are aware of Candy Land, and over 60 percent of households with a five-year-old child own a set. The game continues to sell about a million copies every year.You know how it goes: Players race down a sinuous but linear track, its spaces tinted one of six colors or marked by a special candy symbol. They draw from a deck of cards corresponding to the board’s colors and symbols. They move their tokens to the next space that matches the drawn color or else teleport to the space matching the symbol. The first to reach the end of the track is the winner.Nothing the participants say or do influences the outcome; the winner is decided… ..... Read More.3 weeks ago - A Wikipedia for Generation Z
