Two loved ones gone within a month of one another. I'm out of words. This fucking sucks. I love you to the moon and back, Cookie. Thank you for teaching me that no matter what happens, life is better when you keep your heart open. I hope wherever you are, you have a cold drink and a fresh baguette.

Unsurprisingly, Adam Conover puts it very, very well!
"Conover has no doubt that platforms like YouTube will continue to grow as well—and that as they do, they’ll absorb more and more of the entertainment market. As that happens, he wants to make sure the industry continues to pay workers fairly. It took decades for the linear TV industry to construct its ad model, set rates, and unionize, Conover says. Now the same needs to happen on the streaming side. As YouTube channels get bigger and bigger, their sales process has to get more sophisticated as well. That means convincing advertisers to pay higher rates and attracting bigger brands. Right now, Conover says, the biggest late-night-adjacent YouTubers mostly trade in ads from direct-to-consumer brands like Squarespace and MeUndies. “They’re dick pills,” he says. “It’s still that kind of advertiser. Coke is not yet advertising on these channels.” If the genre’s ever going to be as profitable on the internet as it was on television, that will need to change."

Was visiting my abuela in Florida last week and snagged this photo that was stuck in the back of an album so that I can frame it because my god she's stunning 🥹

Please enjoy my favorite answer, in which she beautifully unpacks her affinity for mermaids! 🧜‍♀️
LB: I noticed in your book that you seem to have an affinity for mermaids. You compare your mother’s hair to a mermaid’s, and you named your daughter after the ama in Japan, whom you describe as real-life mermaids. You also talk about feeling like a mermaid in the ocean during Survivor. Where does that come from? PS: Are you a mermaid? LB: I’m a Pisces from Florida, so close enough. PS: I loved Little Mermaid growing up. That was my favorite Disney movie. I was Ariel. I had dreams that I could breathe underwater constantly. When she trades her voice for legs, I’m like, “How many times have I done that in my life?” So many times. And now, I more relate to Ursula. I feel like, “Oh, she’s so hot and embodied and va va voom.” I play Ursula with my kid, and she’s Ariel, and she loves it. I think it’s this symbolic ability to dive into the depths of the dark waters. Water is related to the emotional realm, and I think for me, swimming around in that space is something that I have a desire for. It’s something I kind of have to do to be okay. I have to swim around in the dark depths to feel at home. I have built that experience into my life, and now my daughter, she’s a Cancer, and I heard from an astrologer that she’s a grand water trine. So that just means she’s really emotional.

Harold and Maude is my favorite movie for many reasons, and Cat Stevens is one of them.

See above. This panther will be tattooed somewhere on my body before I die. Laura Jane Grace is a legend, and the lyric "there is an ocean in my soul where the waters do not curve" will forever live rent-free in my brain.

I can only spend so much time pretending MCR was not THEE formative band for me, a person who saw the music video for "Honey" as a teen, learned it was based on some horror movie called AUDITION, and fell wayyyy down a rock/horror rabbit hole from which she never emerged

Stumbled on this album because I'd watched so many angsty Sims 2 machinima videos set to rock music as a middle schooler that the YouTube algo served up "Doll Parts" like, "Uh, here you go?"

This album tore apart my psyche in college, and "Two" will never fail to make me tear up for reasons I still cannot even fully explain.

We're starting with the obvious. The one I first listened to as a kid at a family friend's house, through the bedroom door of the coolest teenage boy I'd ever met. Obviously I was down horrendous.
