#CoolShit 05.14.20
Happy Thursday folks!
Kind of random, but yesterdays email was one of my favorite #CoolShit’s I've ever sent. It just perfectly summarized why I love sharing this email with you. Cool music & art to celebrate Stevie Wonders Bday. David Lynch’s weird weather reporting. Progressive business news. A weird ass body-parts typeface. Shit I even found a Nipsey lyric referencing Stevie wonder to end the email.
It was a good email.
Today on the other hand, it’s a bit… well… you’ll see.
See you tomorrow!

What I listened to this morning:
Nipsey Hussle: A Crenshaw Murder, Community Activism, Rollin ‘60s and Lost Potential (35 minutes)
Get to know Mr. Hussle a bit better.
Nipsey Hussle was more than just one of this generation’s most promising voices in hip hop. He was a social activist, a community leader and aspirational entrepreneur.

Mr. Danzig’s creepy vibes feel like a perfect match to these Elvis tracks.
How the news changes the way we think and behave
It turns out that news coverage is far more than a benign source of facts. From our attitudes to immigrants to the content of our dreams, it can sneak into our subconscious and meddle with our lives in surprising ways. It can lead us to miscalculate certain risks, shape our views of foreign countries, and possibly influence the health of entire economies. It can increase our risk of developing post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression.
There’s no doubt that the #1 priority of “the news” today is to entertain, not to inform - fight me.
This creative reminder
It’s helpful to remember that sometimes “the past” wasn’t thousands of years ago. Shit, this fella, who is still alive, his grandma was a slave.
