The Best One Yet - 🥱 “I dream of Pikachu” — Pokemon Sleep’s Humblebrag. KFC’s nugget nuance. The Strip Mall’s real estate resurgence.
Pokemon Sleep is soaring to the top of the App Store by gamifying your slumber — But its growth hack is the humblebrag. KFC sales surged 19% last quarter thanks to the debut of their chicken nugget — But we noticed chicken’s been eating beef for 50 years. And Strip Malls were once the armpit of American retail, but now are the #1 play in commercial real estate — Because some things are just un-amazonable.

NBN Book of the Day - Rudi Matthee, “Angels Tapping at the Wine-Shop’s Door: A History of Alcohol in the Islamic World” (Oxford UP, 2023)
When meeting an expatriate friend on my first trip to Dubai, the host at the restaurant where we were meeting quickly ushered me up to the second floor. For foreigners, he said—before handing me a wine list.
Dubai’s tolerance of alcohol is a more formalized version of Muslim tolerance—and clandestine drinking—of alcohol that dates back to its very inception, despite religious commands to the contrary. Professor Rudi Matthee tells that story in Angels Tapping at the Wine-shop's Door: A History of Alcohol in the Islamic World (Oxford University Press / Hurst, 2023).
In this interview, Rudi and I chat about alcohol in the Islamic world: who drank it—and how they excused their behavior—and how non-Muslims ended up being a part of the Muslim drinking world.
Rudi Matthee is the John A. Munroe and Dorothy L. Munroe Chair of History at the University of Delaware. He is the author of four prize-winning monographs on Iranian history, and the editor or co-editor of another six books. He is currently President of the Persian Heritage Foundation.

What A Day - Keeping It 100°+
Last July was so hot that 81 percent of the world's population endured sweltering heat, according to a new report by the science non-profit Climate Central. The temps broke records across the globe. Next week President Biden visits the nation's Southwest to talk more about his plans to combat climate change.
Negotiations in Hollywood may soon resume nearly 100 days since the strike began. The president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached out to Writers Guild of America to schedule a meeting for Friday. Meanwhile, Hollywood started hiring for high-paying AI jobs.
And in headlines: a federal judge ruled that health care providers in Idaho can refer patients for abortion services out-of-state, New York City officials are considering a plan where migrants will sleep in tents in Central Park and other green spaces, and picking your nose is associated with a higher risk of COVID.

The Daily Signal - What Is, and Isn’t, in 3rd Trump Indictment, Legal Expert Explains
INTERVIEW: Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday was indicted for a third time, and "it's striking that there's really nothing new in the indictment," Steven Bradbury says.
The latest indictment by special counsel Jack Smith is "all based on what we already knew publicly from the work of the Jan. 6 committee and from all the news coverage," Bradbury said, adding that the new indictment is "hollow in the sense of no new allegations."
Bradbury, a distinguished fellow in the executive vice president’s office at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" ahead of Trump's arraignment in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to explain what charges Trump is facing. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
Bradbury, who served as the Department of Transportation's chief legal counsel in the Trump administration, also explains what the indictment says about the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.
