five friday finds: sick day, ride hustle, short sight

Hi folks,

Was out sick for a few days this week, but in the brief intervals where I was lucid these finds help me get through the day:

  1. CALL IN SICK DAY Wait...it wasn't just me...apparently more people call in sick on August 24 than any other day.
  2. NEXT SLIDE PLEASE A brief history of the corporate presentation.
  3. VIDEOS > RIDES Taxi drivers in Southeast Asia are earning more from viral TikToks than from rides.
  4. SHORT SIGHT So many people are nearsighted in Taiwan that they have already glimpsed what could be coming for the rest of us.
  5. DON'T VENT As one researcher put it, “Venting anger is like using gasoline to put out a fire.”

The weekend is filled with multiple families hanging out, which should help me recover from the sickness-induced social FOMO.
