gm,

in this episode, we are doing an experiment.

this week, we added comments, so instead of sharing direct links to the content, we share links to Kiwi, where you can read people's comments, add your two cents, and access the direct link.

let us know how it works for you. if it doesn't, we will return to the direct links because we want this newsletter to be maximally useful to you.

so, without further ado, here are the top Kiwi picks:
