[nonostantement #299] - internet artifacts / roblox rallies / japan vs foreigners
Now with MORE stuff on the floor (and a fax machine)!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with nice, acceptable, and fitting stuff found all over the Internet.
Hello everyone, my name is Joele, I am writing from Barcelona and I deal with digital strategies for companies, brands and institutions. Every Sunday, as I have been doing for more than 5 years now, I send this newsletter to my friends. I use it to collect the most interesting things I find on the Internet.
If you like this newsletter you can forward it to some of your friends, you can buy me a coffee or you can just reply writing me about your day. That would also be nice.
