If a Chronicle employee sighting is on your bucket list – weird but okay – you might try the Jo’s on 41st and Red River, whose La Colombe roast fuels many in the office not sipping cans of Monster Ultra Zero. These caffeine dealers have spent 25 years slinging sips, bites, and tourist photo opportunities: hell of a long time in Austin years, ya know. As their birthday treat, Jo’s locations will be offering their drip and Turbo coffee bevs at 1999 prices – as well as a South Congress exclusive special menu. Feeling a particular need to celebrate the ol’ lady in style? Hit up the SoCo spot on Sunday, Nov. 3, for a devilish edition of their Sinner’s Brunch with Tina Rose & the Jo’s House Band. – James Scott

Social norms are often regarded as informal rules or strategies. Previously, we have proposed that norms are better understood as information. Social norms represent a behavioral adaptation that identifies and curates the information required to create and maintain a predictable environment. Here, we further demonstrate that social norms act as the leading edge of individual and collective search and optimization processes. These processes provide efficient and effective evolutionary mechanisms for constant adjustment and adaptation to an environment. We show that social norms constitute the forefront of our ability to ingest and process information, and are responsible for the conditions under which social and collective cognition are possible. This new model of social information processing provides not only insight into how humans adapt and evolve to diverse environments, but also provides concrete definitions of human sociality and its distinctions from that of other social animals. Our social constructs and behaviors are not separate from the physical world we inhabit, but are instead the primary means by which we exist within it.
