Fake crises, potential ones, and family dramas — Oct 12 Weekly Roundup

Reading

The Atlantic Did Me Dirty
(Carrie M. Santos-Thomas)
One of the sources quoted in The Atlantic’s piece about how the kids aren’t reading anymore adds some extremely important context.

Listening

The Subprime AI Crisis
(Better Offline)
Ed Zitron’s caustic rant about the coming collapse of the AI industry.

Watching

A remarkable directorial debut.
A cozy evening watch.
Hunker down and feel feelings.
All shock with not enough point.
The plot of a comedy with the tone of a drama.
The closest thing to a Final Fantasy plot in movie form.
I didn’t expect to laugh so much.
