The current #fleishmanisintrouble episode of the Slate Money #podcast (with former The Four Top guest felix salmon) dovetails oh so nicely with our conversation about #journalism pay in our own Ep. 113. Tune into both!

The Four Top is a “Three Top” this week as Martín Reyes, MW and Katherine Cole chat with the crypto-curious VR-visionary Dan Petroski. In Ep. 115, we ask what Web 3.0 is, exactly, and why #wine businesses should be planning for it now. Link in bio.

Really enjoyed @joeybear85 's @Substack this AM. 🖤 "Bioluminescence" and 💖 "Fire Island." And we are all stuck inside bodies. newyorker.com/magazine/2021/… josephhernandez.substack.com/subscribe?utm_…

I just learned that contact lens blister packs (sans foil) can be recycled if you simply place them inside clear plastic bottles. The issue is sorting an item of such a small size—the bottle solves the problem. Why don't all optical dispensaries inform patients of this?

OMG, I just realized what inspired the lyric "a partridge in a pear tree." The French word for "partridge" is... say it out loud...

According to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, consumers are sipping less wine and micro-dosing more psilocybin, all in the name of wellness. Are you seeing people dropping (tartaric) acid and embracing shrooms? Hear more on Ep. 140 of The Four Top: tr.ee/kTfzFrO7JI

The Champenoise are at odds over foil necks. Are they important to Champagne's image, or should we let them go in the name of sustainability? (And do you agree with Ruby and I that paper tabs just look better?) Listen to Ep. 152 of The Four Top : tr.ee/tUyTclenLF
