Fascinating connection between GLP-induced impulse control and buying art. The top 10% by income of consumers account for 50% of spending. The use of GLPs is undoubtedly higher in that high income group. What other impulses might be muted?

samara's avatar

I saw some anecdotal reporting that partners at VC funds on GLP1s were taking on less risky investments. I wish there were a deeper dive into that

Emily Sundberg's avatar

Yes I think David Ulevitch once commented on this

Jenna Elwig the food director of Real Simple has her own Substack and I find it great! She’s also just a wonderful human

Mostly cookbook stuff but I find her approach honest and human…

Theory is goated

Emily that’s a sign to put that director hat back on sooner than later. Also Hugh King is an epic name.

Emily Sundberg's avatar

'Unputdownable' is not new - it's a very old English term (apparently originated in the 1830s) that is familiar to Brits. I've been using it for years :)

Emily Sundberg's avatar

WSJ brings back old English term in their job listings*****

Cindy Gallop's avatar

😂

Emily Sundberg's avatar

It’s an effective term!!!!

When I was a book editor at AMZN it was the go-to adjective of a colleague of mine to champion their favorite books. I got a little triggered seeing it here today.

Emily Sundberg's avatar

We’ll use a trigger warning next time sorry Brad 🙏🏼

If someone does end up making a Real Simple style Substack, I’d be their first subscriber. Half of my Reddit searching is how to take care of/fix up/clean the secondhand purchases I make…

samara's avatar

Emilia Petraca does “repair month” where she covers a lot of how to make minor fixes. Might scratch part of that itch

Emily Sundberg's avatar

She's so thorough, I look forward to that series every year

My tailor has become a close confidant because of this and something Liana Satenstein wrote that shifted how I view the clothing I own

Emily Sundberg's avatar

Can you be completely honest with me... how many tailors did it take to find this one?

Nora's avatar

I feel lucky because I used to go to random tailors for hemming and things like that and then when I moved to Brooklyn I ended up needing a dress altered that was layers of mesh and boning and the first tailor I went to ended up creating magic and we’ve been friends ever since. He’s done some crazy work for me. I leave feeling like all of my pieces are 1 of 1

Emily Sundberg's avatar

so can i have his name

Nora's avatar

Of course… his name is Hussey he’s in prospect heights! https://maps.app.goo.gl/6t6XFtfbfV6QKe1bA?g_st=ic

Nora's avatar

Yes I love it!!

Emily Sundberg's avatar

I need diagrams and visuals though

Nora's avatar

Agreed and now I have an idea…

PLEASE interview the older gentlemen in Chinatown! 😍

Nancy Friedman's avatar

The WSJ didn't coin "unputdownable" -- Raymond Chandler did, in 1947.

I see, I’m sorry. I was wrong!

Jennifer Klee's avatar

Shira Gill writes the Life Edit. It's more steeped in minimalism than Martha, but it does help me collect myself in a similar way.

I guess the news paper business is no longer. The WSJ and NYTs and print media in general are now morphing into media entertainment enterprises. I appreciate the evolve or die reality but the world needs a free press, delivering news and facts. I guess it also needs a populace with the attention span to read and care.
