    Here’s what I read this week: 1. On Sunday at 11:30 p.m. I got a New York Times notification that David Bowie had died, which left me feeling empty as I tried to sleep and gutted at the beginning of the week. I remember the very first time and the very first Bowie song I listened…

Netflix is really and truly The Worst. 3. The history of the siren on Starbucks cups. 4. The phenomenon of…
