walking the line between so back and down bad
doing the hard work to gain a "fuck it we ball" mindset
Hi!
Thanks for opening this email / reading this post.
Everything keeps happening all the time:
An excellent zine that examines well-documented White peoples’ reactions to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960’s and a perfect, evergreen, McSweeney’s post of a similar sentiment. If you’ve ever wondered which side of history you’d be on, the answer is readily available today!
If my husband follows you on TikTok, you have most likely been assaulted with Donghau Jinlong Industrial Grade Glycine videos reposts. Here’s an explainer on the absurdist, post-capitalism “joke” haunting my FYP.
A genre of art I really enjoy is, “rich doofus invites smart poor person into their world and are not smart enough to realize how much they are being made fun of.” This post about meeting the definitive egg head, Marc Andreessen, is an especially horrifying little treat.
In the aforementioned piece, Andreeseen says he’s glad most Americans are too obese and addicted to video games to pay attention to his evil villain antics. But, if you rely on the Affordable Connectivity Project for high-speed internet like millions of Americans, you’re about to lose service and will have plenty of time to gain class consciousness unburdened by billionaire-owned media assets.
Tunes to start the week with:
This new Hovvdy album is dumb and fun. It’s giving Texas soft boys making sentimental bedroom pop with a country twang. Gentle and sweet, it’s nice springtime stuff!
