Millennials are hitting the dip with no Corvette, no house, and, for the first time in consumer history, no appetite (see: peptides).

Maysaa and her daughter Maria were laid to rest at St. Porphyrius Church after an Israeli strike on their Gaza City home killed them on 2 October. According to statistics, Gaza's Christian community was 1,017 before the start of Israel’s genocidal war in 2023, but has since decreased by 40%

This is a very fascinating observation from a person who was instrumental in popularizing Italian Brainrot! A decentralized hyperstitional creation with no singular origin medium.com/@fabianmosel...

When people started pretending that a bunch of random AI images were an IP, they inadvertently caused these character to break out and become a global entertainment success story, without being tied to any company. The participatory creation of media brought manufacturers to produce merch and toys in a decentralized way, videogame makers to create the most popular Roblox games, and anyone who wanted to use them, was able to, because no own owns them.

And now, one year later, the ouroboros has completed. On April 21st 2026, OpenAI’s 5th iteration of DALLE, commonly known as ChatGPT Images 2.0, tokenized, categorized and trained on Italian Brainrot, resulting in the first image model that can generate Italian Brainrot on its own.

There’s something very poetic in these AI-native characters that did not have any context at all, no origin except whatever DALLE 3 knew about the world, to now be the global phenomena it has become, therefore being ingested through the training dataset and allowing us to regurgitate it again forever through the latest OpenAI’s image model. The tokenization of token-native characters. Internet folklore.

Matryoshka, a Russian-state bot network, just started targeting the US midterms with [#]AllDemocratsAreCriminals hashtag. For the day one, they chose the laziest format known for 🪆: repurposed Cameo videos. As always with Matryoshka, assume reach averaging hundreds of views (not Ks!) per video.

A Korean American friend had introduced me to this band a few months ago. Just saw they have a new KEXP. If you haven't met them, you're in for a treat! Korean traditional singing meet western funk + psychedelic art pop of some sort? Very theatrical almost operatic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y7o...
