This week in the What Thinks Fritzcast: Tesla drivers rediscover the dashboard they deserved, a Scottish bookstore becomes the world’s most charming Airbnb, and AI starts designing physical objects faster than most companies hold meetings. Plus: border arbitrage for Dutch grocery nerds, a story worth disappearing into, a sharp reality check on how private equity is squeezing the quality out of heritage brands, and warm, analog soul sounds straight from East LA.

From the I’m Back Roll to restaurant Masque, WTF #69 moves between slowing down and sensory overload. We zoom in on how AI Impact reframes our roles, while we zoom out surfing on the calm waves generated by the book Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow which explores creation and connection. Add the Snipd app and DJ Notoya to the mix, and this edition weaves technology, culture and curiosity into one sharp, immersive narrative.

In this 68th edition, we champion the return to tactile substance and the luxury of deceleration. We explore bespoke intelligence through Gist Books’ personalized primers, find sensory recalibration in the wood-fired waters of the HotTug, and embrace the ‘quiet movement’ via the notification-free sanctuary of the Silent Book Club. While The Quilters offers a poignant lesson in compassion from behind bars and iLost reunites lost treasures with their owners, we round out the experience with the analog velvet groove of Dabeull: a track best enjoyed with a chilled Negroni. This is your curated toolkit for a life lived with more presence and less noise.

In this edition we navigate the fascinating intersection of heritage and high-tech. We begin with the luminous precision of the LUMO optical grill, before seeking refuge in Tokyo’s literary hideaway, Book and Beds. We track the return of vintage habits in a modern world and visit the SPAM Museum to dissect the ‘cubism’ of an immutable icon. Finally, we digitize vinyl crates with the Plastic app and lose ourselves in the velvet Yacht-Funk of Thundercat’s latest release, Distracted. Settle in for a curated journey through functional excellence and sonic mastery.

In an ocean of unrest, the new What Thinks Fritz is an island of zen🧘. We float towards beautiful things, from Swiss-designed Geneva Time audio to a fairy-tale Belfast home, and sail past the apps that let you TravelReddi like a local. We drift into the mind of a legend with Miyazaki, explore the shift from prestige to performance with Paul Graham, and cruise on the analog tunes of Tom Misch.

So rest your soul for a bit, listen to the silence and namaste. 🙏🏻
