🖙Recent Media of Interest
As a service to my dear readers, I'd like to highlight things that may be of interest to topics them on account of the fact I cover similar topics on this blog.
🖙First is Natalie Wynn's "Conspiracy" video, posted on her Contrapoints channel. This touches on some of the same themes that came up in her "Cringe" video, which I cited a few months ago in my post. It's also just well made in Wynn's inimitable style.
🖙Second is "The Secret History of the Manicule, the Little Hand that's Everywhere" by Messy Nessy. I've incorporated the manicule (🖙) into this site's design, so you might be interested in a review of where it came from and how it became incorporated into typesetting, user interfaces, digital fonts, and emojis.
🖙Third is "A Bigger Database" by Glyph, which is about AI hype but also about the author's own neuroses growing up.
These are all very good, and I wholeheartedly recommend you watch or read them.
