Read, Listen, Watch
Here are some things that we think are worth your time to read, listen and watch. (📖, 👂, 👁️)
Heat waves 🔥🌊
It's hot out there. Here's how to keep yourself cool without A/C. Keep your pets cool too. 🌭🌭🌭
Next, a list of the best public swimming pools around the world for you to think about. 🏊
Also, a plan to keep cities cool during extreme heat waves.
Might as well leave this here.
This too. ❤️🔥
Retirement plans
End of an era: This week Serena Williams announced her intention to retire after the U.S. open on her own terms and in her own words. 🎾
Facebook used to be cool. [Eds. Was it though?] Now, it's described as a "place for people in their 40s and 50s". When will it join the likes of MySpace and throw in the towel? Also, how much is a signed baseball card from a young Mark Zuckerberg worth? ⚾
A good question: What’s so great about retirement, anyway? 👵👵👵
