Some interesting stuff I read/saw this month:

  • I knew the Daily Show was over when Jon Stewart left, some people1 just took longer to realize that
  • I’ve been a fan of ASMR for a while, I’m happy to see it slowly go mainstream, as this live2 session shows
  • This one is very, very niche, but if you liked ”Moby Dick”, you might like this collection of Melville trivia3.
  • If you grew up in the 90s, you’ll wince when you see these kids react4 to Windows 95
  • This article (which gets to contributes to this month’s cover image) takes a nostalgic look at the ruins of old rocket launch5 sites (I have a hunch that old soviet launch sites are even more romantic).
  • Finally, to end on a positive note, a building in Zurich (a reasonably big one) successfully completed its 60 meter journey6.
