When I first started working on Mancini, I often read that none of her letters survived. After a lot of archive rummaging (in five different countries!), I managed to find about seventy. The magic of the archives is quite something ✨

Can't decide whether Ring's ad trying to use dogs to get us to opt into their surveillance program or Amazon's "lol what if our AI killed you?" ad was the most dystopian

Bad Bunny's halftime show was regular, everyday people having a great time. English or not, the message feels loud and clear. Merely depicting people as having normal, relatable lives feels radical.

My takeaways from Bad Bunny nobody asked for
1. the inclusion of afro-Latinidad
2. the use of kids AS kids. they weren't doing much but vibing (said positively).
3. I think there are a lot of easter eggs that require repeat viewing
4. everyone looked like they were having so much fun
