Read to the end for an incredible GIF set about “Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness” — Political DAOs Are Next Over the weekend, a Twitter account called @whynotliamyt tweeted an outrageously bad series of tweets about using NFT trading to raise money to fly women to Canada to get abortions.

The degree to which I’ve been anti-sports — or rather, sports-indifferent — has been consistent and unremarkable, so this turn comes as a bit of a shock…

Read to the end for a good DALL-E generation — Bored Apes Are Playing At My Yacht Club If it seems like there’s a little more vape smoke in the air in Manhattan right now that’s because it’s NFT NYC, baby, one of the bigger events for NFT investors in the country.

Read to the end for a good hamster video — Everything Is Local The first time I heard the term “hyperlocal” was in a college journalism class. We were given a bizarre device called a “flipcam,” which was essentially a very bad digital camera that had a USB port on it that you could use to easily transfer your terrible video files, and…

Read to the end for a conversation with The Atlantic’s Kaitlyn Tiffany — An Intense Feeling Of Ephemerality For no reason at all I’ve spent the last couple days memorizing Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy.
