Five Things: Nanoplastics, China, Post Office, Chicken, 770 Eastern Parkway
It's Sunday. And you should really read this.
Here we go again. It’s Sunday Morning and you opened Five Things to read five articles I picked out for you. And it is a weird combination, again. Oftentimes I wonder myself how I ended up picking these articles or even how I found them. Some are obvious, some not so much. But I find each and every one of the articles interesting, in there own way.
Anyhow, did I mention that you can also go paid and spend money on this newsletter? I think this would be a great thing to do in 2024, so here’s a discount for you!
Time for Five Things!
Here’s what you’re really swallowing when you drink bottled water
Germans are crazy about bottled water. I never understood that, since our drinking water is really good. I guess tap water will be getting a lot more popular now. Nanoplastics sounds nasty.
China’s Game in Gaza
While we are somehow trying to make a rules-based international order work, China thrives on chaos and enjoy exploiting it. I wonder how the West can deal with this, especially when the South is trying to be more independent these days. New coalitions are forming.
How a TV Show Forced Britain’s Devastating Post Office Scandal Into the Light
This is an amazing story. Just imagine this happens to you. What a nightmare!
The Unending Quest To Build A Better Chicken
Chicken is probably my favorite meat. Yeah, I know. Weird. And we buy just the chicken they sell on the farmer’s market, so the chicken doesn’t taste like rubber. I was not aware of what is going on behind the chicken shack.
The Famous History of the Brooklyn Synagogue That Went Viral
This is wonderfully bizarre. I read about 770 Eastern Parkway a few weeks ago when I stumbled across an article about the Lubavitch Hasidic faith, but I was not aware of the extent of the significance of this building to this movement.
That’s it. Have an amazing Sunday! And remember to go paid!
