The Fundamentals
For the week of January 29, 2023
Welcome to the weekly newsletter, where I share my musings on world events. I’ll also use this to identify those deserving of our collective side-eye. I’ll share thought-provoking online gems or things that make me laugh (because we need both). And sometimes, I may include personal nonsense. I hope this brightens your week and makes you think.
Nonsense
What’s Goin’ On?
Amelia Earhart’s plane may have been found!
Elmo checked in with folks, and we are not okay.
Chita Rivera, a Broadway icon, died at the age of ninety-one.
She’s back! A new Reba McEntire sitcom is in the works at NBC.
A haunting AP report: Prisoners in the US are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands. This is modern-day slavery.
A judge ruled that Elon Musk is not entitled to an inflated $55 billion Tesla compensation package. Good! No one deserves or needs that kind of wealth.
Grammy award winners!
Bless Their Hearts
Same.
If only the real world was like Sesame Street!
Sigh.
The Japanese Embassy assures Swifties that she’ll have time to perform in Tokyo and still make it to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
