Weekend coffee #143.

Sometimes I feel like 2020 is an episode of Punk’d. One long, ongoing, neverending episode with Ashton Kutcher giggling gleefully from some unseen control room. And if by some chance that’s really the case, Ashton, this stopped being funny about four months ago. Anyway, fall is officially here, the Notorious RBG departed and somehow, time marches on. Here’s a look at this week’s reading, watching and so on:

• It Shouldn’t Have Come Down to Her

• Periwinkle, the Color of Poison, Modernism, and Dusk

• Did FernGully Predict This Climate Change Disaster?

• A compostable coffin made from mushroom mycelium.

• Can Algorithms Violate Fair Housing Laws?

• Too much candy: Man dies from eating bags of black licorice

• A college town without students (it’s a weird place to live without them).

• Watch Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ first show at Mercury Lounge

That’s all for now. Until next time - thanks for following along and be well.
