Hand-Picked Links — May 20, 2024
A few of our favorite food ‘grams, indie creators, and videos from last week.
Valley Circle Pizza
Our friend Dan Rubenstein — better known for college football podcast The Solid Verbal — happens to be an obsessed pizza chef. If you like to drool while you work, keep an eye on his Instagram. You might just pick up a few tricks to use at home.
Good pizza takes longer than you think, it’s like bread. Also, buy the best ingredients you can afford.

Need to keep the kiddos busy during a road/plan/train trip this summer? How about a murder mystery logic puzzle book (or three)?

The History of Tetris World Records
The most recent Summoning Salt video is a doozy. Clocking in at almost two hours, make sure you have a drink and a snack handy. Best if you go in blissfully ignorant. The history of the Tetris world record is surprisingly dramatic. #nospoilers
I think I got to Level 12 one time.
Hometown Icon
Friend of the show Elias Stein has a store full of beautiful prints. If you like sports and/or your home town, you need to take a look.
Personally rooting for a Boston / Dallas final, but these are good too.
Radiooooo
Not gonna lie, this is weird and we kind of love it. Randomized music by decade and region. Really nice if you can’t write a blog post while listening to music in your native language, hypothetically.
Thanks for the link, Jonathan!
