RMXCEO (Co-Founder / CEO): I liked this doc Stutz about Jonah Hill’s relationship w/ his unorthodox therapist. The basic premise that being in a healthy relationship with your body, other people and yourself is the foundation for happiness rings true. And as an entrepreneur, I can’t help but resonate with his idea that life is about uncertainty, discomfort and work.
JOE THERRIEN KELLY(Community Manager): My sister said this was really powerful! I need to check it out this weekend for sure.
JESSICA KANTOR (Chief of Staff): I heard the same and looking forward to watching it. I’ve been catching up on screeners and recently watched The Menu. It’s a cheeky horror comedy that really feels like the right vibe for us right now It just released to HBO max after a theatrical run.

RMXCEO: This is good
Why I'm Less Than Infinitely Hostile To Cryptocurrency
Did Dees post this in our Geneva? I’m nomming it for him, it’s amazing:
BRANDON DEES (Senior Curse Developer): yes i did, but it’s good enough for a repeat here. Off the top of my head, my pick this round is the esoteric programming language Malbolge
ELI STONEBERG (Advisor): my fav nft project lately is 1337 skulls. its a love letter to cc0 on chain nft projects. it featured trait inspo from other cc0 projects. was a free drop with 0 royalties. had a unique "phases" based minting experience where they randomly would tweet out that a whole cc0 community had a limited time to mint... ie all mathcastles holders.
Relevant links: here’s their Website, Resources & Content, Twitter, Discord, OpenSea, and Manifesto
JOE: Eli this is sick! joining their Discord now!
SHAHID MAHDI (Geneva Community Member): Article rec for the week
Time-Travelling with Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
Elif Batuman explores a new feature on Merriam-Webster's Web site that allows users to see all the words first used in print in a given year.
I have always been fascinated with the undyingly passionate (somewhat tiktok informed) and cerebrally sad slow/reverb YouTube community. Some of the comments are very profound and macabre, many on heartbreak or loss, but that same song at a normal speed without the anime loop is euphoric and happy.
RMXCEO: Politically, Immortal Technique makes Tupac look like MC Hammer. Prepare to get your wig schooled with strong language and a NSFW parental advisory from this barbershop in Harlem. And surprised - there’s a touching tribute to Robin Williams. The reason I’m sharing this link is his parting words to other rappers at 21:58 (RMX’s defacto manifesto), “Own your shit!”
JOE: This week I wanna recommend Listerine breath strips - I feel like they had a moment a decade or so ago then fell off, but you can order them online very easily! I’m a bit out on gum these days, and as someone who’s still a little fixated on always having good breath there’s really nothing better. They’re tiny and easy to carry, work wonders, and somehow still feel futuristic.
RMXCEO: My late and beloved Grandpa would endorse.
JOE: Hahaha great minds! I’m sure my Grandpa would have loved Immortal Technique if he had lived to subscribe to our Mirror and peep these recs.
