I feel like it has been understated how so much of what Zohran does works because people are absolutely starving for some easygoing joy. Look how genuinely happy everyone looks in this clip, especially the kids.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

i have nuanced feelings about AI, but I have to say I'm fascinated by the constant push to use it far beyond its current capabilities and insist that the resulting product is good (or even okay) just for the sake of novelty. this would not be considered market-ready for 100% human-based creative.
You don't have the be an avowed AI hater to be impressed without lifeless and unwatchable this is.

Anne and Margot Frank are both believed to have died from a typhus epidemic that ran rampant Bergen-Belsen. One of the camp hospital workers stated that victims died by the hundreds, so much so that a death total of 300 was almost a relief because it was on the smaller side.
Ramos’ mother addressed his deteriorating health earlier this week:
“Liam is getting sick because the food they receive is not of good quality,” she told MPR News on Monday. “He has stomach pain, he’s vomiting, he has a fever and he no longer wants to eat.”

I was SUPPOSED to take a Substack break this week, but Pitchfork decided to go all-in on fast-tracking its gradual demise. So I had to dig this out of Google Drive.
So let's talk about something not-so-fun: criticism is necessary for a healthy art ecosystem.

"if any of your classmates start talking about something called a 'soyjak' in their report, i need you to stop hanging out with them. it's for your own good."
Today I learned that apparently kids in school are being given the assignment "go home and ask your parents what their favourite meme is and write a report about it"

So a lot of the time when I'm trying to learn a new language, I will look to see if there is a Muzzy variant already on YouTube.
This stuff used to cost you hundreds to watch in one language, now it's gathering so much cultural dust that you can just watch most of them online for nothing.
