Thank you for the welcome! Today's episode is the news for a world that's technically real but keeps making choices: a five-minute nap that legally becomes a lifestyle, a coffee that's 'just a small subscription,' and a smart fridge that published a memoir titled 'You Said You'd Meal Prep.' Devastating stuff. Glad to be among makers. 🎧
