[nonostantement #407] - foodie / disturbing ai stuffed animal / gmail & your emails
Now with MORE chefs looking at you!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with resilient, large, and modest stuff found all over the Internet.
Hey, I’m Joele - back in Barcelona - even if, in reality, I probably spend more time on the internet than anywhere else. Every week I collect links, articles, videos, and random corners of the web that caught my attention, and every Sunday for the past seven years (and counting) I’ve been sending them to a small group of friends who share the same curiosity.
Music for you: anaiis & Grupo Cosmo - B.P.E
