Morning. Hope everyone is doing ok. It’s Thursday, so reco day. This has been a great week for content online. Maybe something is shifting? Or maybe I’m just reading less hard news and more fun nonsense.
Let’s get into it…
1/ Timing is everything. Obsessed with these photos!
2/ Are you in a reading slump? It makes sense if you are!
3/ Thought this was a fascinating, if not a bit depressing, read about the realities of making content for YouTube. I guess we’ll be seeing a lot more influencer types moving to Substack as they build the video product. You’re welcome for making you create an account in advance 🤣.
Bonus/ With the Oscar’s coming this weekend (wahoo), it’s always fun to see what famed film critic Richard Brody thinks of the past year in movies. Listen to him share his picks for The Brodys. He really gives it his all to be rebellious and pick the weirdos.
While we’re at it, watch this wonderful interview with Jesse Eisenberg and Amelia Dimoldenberg. I mean…
That’s all for today. Thanks as always for reading and sharing (share this newsletter!). See you soon.
