Age is a construct, shame is a construct, and Birkenstocks are a construct (but not a work of art, apparently). This week’s episode is your usual mixed bag. We share Xanthe’s calendar trick for more time freedom while explaining how “the marketing shift” actually works, get existential about yet another short-form video trend in response to this Thread, discuss the copyright laws of high (and low) fashion, celebrate New Zealand’s bug of the year, and reminisce on the nostalgic inconvenience of Mapquest as they recently became re-relevant.
