Toast, but make it paleo

Listen: Milky Milk by Dama Scout

In a very occasional foray into rock, I’m v much digging Dama Scout and their new release Milky Milk. Veering from clear, gentle girl vocals into cloudy, aggressive guitar, the song’s structure has something to say. What exactly that message is, is unclear– maybe it’s just that Dama Scout has managed to encapsulate surrealism within the construct of a rock band. Quite the accomplishment, no? Watch the video.

WeWork Bans Meat

Well, sort of. As of last week, WeWork corporate will no longer serve meat at its gatherings, and employees aren’t allowed to expense meals with meat in them. Besides introducing a MAJOR headache for the HR staff who have to review receipts for meat products, this is a pretty adorable branding exercise for the company. It’ll make a real, if light, impact, but mostly it’s there to reinforce the following conversation:

 

“WeWork seems evil and I don’t understand the scope of what they’re doing.”

“Yeah but they banned meat so”

“Huh. Can’t argue with that.”

 

But look, we had it already, so feel free to like actually investigate.

Meanwhile, archaeologists discover Paleolithic-era toast

You know what that means… THE PALEO DIET INCLUDES BREAD, SUCKAAAAZ.

 

That’s all you really need to bring to the cocktail party, but if you’re interested, details here.

Cool now buy a thing for your great new diet

Given the news, the bread machine is bound to come straight back into fashion, right? This one has a gluten-free setting, in case progress is… slower.

(What if secretly everything is paleo?)

PS You all had a lot of great things to say about death on Monday. Will recommends this urn that uses human ashes to grow a tree, and Michele suggested the underwater alternative of placing ashes in a reef ball to support marine life. Plus further reading from Julia, on natural burial, alkaline hydrolysis, and future cemeteries.

PPS You can still enter for those free tickets to Wanderlust BK. It’ll be one full day of free, awesome yoga in Prospect Park.
