Taco heist
Dropping this here for no particular reason.

– Michael Sun
We can't stop talking about...
...or hardly working
Working hard  
...or hardly working
The lunch hour is disappearing and we're all eating at our desks. This sucks! Go outside! And (at risk of sounding hypocritical): touch grass!
Days sublime  
Speaking of breaks, we should all be taking one. Permanently. But a one-day sabbatical is pretty good too.
Overtime  
Sometimes resting isn't an option – especially for the legions of actors and entertainers today working well past retirement age.
Company dime  
No actors were harmed in the Hamilton-style rap performance put on by Canva at their tech conference – but our ears certainly were.
Drink this
...or not
...or not
Australian scientists have developed a new coffee brew which blasts beans with sound waves. But is it good?

Have you checked in on your friends lately? Every millennial is having a midlife crisis and we are all accidentally burning our food. All merch is bad now but at least parties are good – and the Cut is back on the beat. 

Also good: these reads on a Taco Bell heist and Facetune mums. The New Yorker defended influencers and Defector defended Kevin Costner and jerks at large. A niche fashion scandal happened though the greater sartorial horror was clothes moths, which are too advanced now. RIP. 
The funniest things on the internet
Tseba's tour of his tabs

Like any respectable DJ, Tseba spends lots of time laughing at drunk people. His list is no different.
Top of the list
An album –  
The pop-metal stars Bring Me the Horizon have been teasing their album for the past four years, and it's arrived in a heady "pell-mell blur": "a glorious corroded data dump" filled with "cliff-edge imagery". Five stars for Post Human: Nex Gen!

A book –  
Siang Lu's novel Ghost Cities follows a character called Xiang Lu who gets fired from his job, goes viral, and gets attached to a film shooting in the fictional city of Port Man Tou. It's cheeky and postmodern – and also "sweeping, devoted and generous".

An interview –  
In their 21 years together, Melbourne ambient pop duo HTRK have gone from DIY Melbourne clubs to touring the world. They now count Arca as a fan – and they still "get a kick from surprising people".

A show –  
After the first season of Colin from Accounts took off globally, it's back on Binge – still biting, still delightfully catty, and still full of volcanic chemistry.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Our quality, investigative journalism is a powerful force for scrutiny at a time when the rich and powerful are getting away with more and more

2

We are independent and have no billionaire owner telling us what to report, so your money directly powers our reporting

3

It doesn’t cost much, and takes less time than it took to read this message

Help power the Guardian’s journalism in this crucial year of news, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis . It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
