Hi,
Happy Friday! Here’s a list of 10 neat things.
1.
Art: “She’s kind of everything I could never be… the crowns been through a lot, she still shines.” - ‘The Empress’ from Johnny Depp’s tarot inspired art collection.
2.
Art: “Mosquito. Bloodthirsty insect with iron wings, infinitely itchy machine…” (translated from Spanish). Funny.
3.
Film: Behind the backstory and look of Nicolas Cage’s ‘Longlegs’ serial killer.
“The pale makeup is Bob Dylan,” said Perkins. “Bob Dylan’s my god, and so I’m always looking for ways to use Bob’s stuff, and that white makeup that he uses on the ‘Rolling Thunder Revue’ tour is this weird sort of performative thing. It’s like, ‘I’m here to perform for you, and I put on this white makeup, so I’m more visible to you in a way, but at the same time, I’m also more invisible,’ which I find fascinating.”
4.
Music: The Psychedelic Furs song facts - “Love My Way” was written for one of Richard Butler's friends who was struggling to come out of the closet, which makes it the perfect song for the dance scene in “Call Me by Your Name”. "Pretty in pink" is a metaphor for being naked.
5.
UX: When teams lie to themselves, they fall apart - building features for stakeholders vs. solving problems.
6.
AI: How should you monetize your AI features? - insights on pricing.
7.
Business: How to improve women’s advancement programs - ongoing research to better understand gendered perceptions of power. “The study included over 300 participants and found that men more often associated power with control, while women said power is more often tied to freedom.”
8.
Culture: “Chad”, “Kyle”, “Emma”, “ok”, etc. - The Tiffany problem
9.
Cute: Puppy surfing :)
10.
Recommend: Lately I’ve been working on my sleep routine. Here’s a few things I love: this reading light (use the amber light), this sound healing, and this sleep technique (the cognitive shuffle).
