Your Majesty — 10 things
May 26th · Issue #282

Hey ,

We’ve mixed it up this week with more than just AI content (shocking we know). Team favourite links include Lofi Beats and Air Traffic Control Radio - great for focus work, plus we’ve sneaked in a brand new YM article, the first in a series of five. 

And for those who loved Google Reader and getting their blogging fix from RSS feeds back in the day, the first article is perfect for you - nostalgic to say the least. 

Enjoy this week’s weird and wonderful, 

⚔️ Your Majesty
