The 33 Project

Good morning! The Dept. of Transportation in NYC did a cool thing. They hired artists to design work on garbage trucks. Brings a little joy in the am to negate the aggressively loud beeping outside the window.

Let’s get into this week’s recs:

1/ This is an interesting tweet thread on the success of Liquid Death - a canned water company that penetrated the drinks market. Unlikely it could, but with great marketing, it really did. It’s just water!

2/ New Yorkers, this is a neat list of cool spots throughout the city.

3/ Whoops. I guess I was so focused on AI plagiarism that this real life plagiarism felt almost novel? The piece wrestles with some interesting questions though.

She has issued a public apology, stripped her website of all of its content, and sent me very nice emails saying she didn’t have more to say right now. From what I can tell, none of the sentences in those emails was taken from any other source.

Bonus/ Father Cooper is on Diary of a CEO.

See y’all next week.
