"Appreciate everything endlessly." A pit stop on a Seattle road trip at McDonald's in Centralia, WA sent Panic's @[email protected] down a deep and magical rabbit hole into the undiscovered life's work of a nearly-forgotten artist, bringing everyone at XOXO along for the ride. https://xoxofest.com/2024/videos/cabel-sasser/

OK Doomer

“In this new book, [Jonathan] Haidt is coddling the American parent: providing them with a clear, simple, and wrong solution to what is ailing their children. But—as with historic moral panics—parents, schools, and politicians will embrace it, absolving themselves of their own failings in raising children in our modern world and pointing to an easy villain.” @mmasnick

PSA: 1Password uses “1Password.co” for email links — instead of their usual “1Password.com” domain. Craig isn’t an idiot; it 100% feels like phishing. If you ask me, tracking link clicks and opens in emails is simply not worth the potential freak-out when you think you’ve been phished, please tell the marketing team to pound sand (respectfully)
