Super proud of the team for pulling this together in just a few days. Always insightful to hear from @aidanwalker.bsky.social

we did a big deep dive with @aidanwalker.bsky.social explaining the meme references found on the bullet casings, the groyperfication of young people, and why this shooting was, ultimately, a shitpost: disruptive and incoherent

Beautiful piece from Close All Tabs producer Maya Cueva

"close all tabs" is so good. the multi part series on spotify's algorithm and the hyper-specific genres they pigeonhole artists into is really fascinating, and @morgansung.bsky.social interviews really interesting artists with earned insight on this stuff

Modern life is quietly crying at a public radio podcast about furry funerals while driving to a screening of Waterworld at a non-profit theater after grabbing an Andromeda Strain 4k from the public library

new close all tabs! this is a deep dive into why animators suck at getting Black hair right. we also profile two researchers who developed a new way to animate 4c hair — but faced immense resistance in academia in the process. plus, we get into killmonger locs lol

It's Friday. Close that tab you never look at. Close those articles you'll never read. Make a plan for something fun offline this weekend. And don't forget to drink a big glass of water today.

If you are in the Midwest, I would strongly recommend getting a Covid-19 booster, masking again everywhere and avoiding eating in restaurants indoors due to very high levels of Covid-19 detected in wastewater: www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...

Good morning, Blue Sky.

Being resilient is easier when you're surrounded by the right people.

Build communities that make you smarter and tougher for the battles ahead.

Never give up hope. Never stop fighting for what is right. And just.

Whatever comes our way, we will face it together.
