I grew up with Alex Pretti

The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Three year old took a sniff of my fancy artisanal candle and declared it smelled like "gloves." Devastating.

@vicmsong.bsky.social is exactly right that you should invest in good sleep, but also, if I lay my head just right on this pile of three lumpy IKEA pillows my neck only feels a little sore in the morning

Smart sleep is worth the cost

On The Vergecast: would you pay $5,000 for a better night of sleep? It might be a good deal.
