10 Things is a rare blend of the ten best things online that inspired us, caught our attention or made us smile. Over a decade of human curation, 365 issues in, zero filler.
It’s been a busy week at YM HQ and some of the team headed to Berlin to share tech knowledge and expertise at a fashion event with attendees from across Europe - exciting!
Online, it feels like the entire internet is either Barbie pink or talking about Threads - which without some cheeky VPNing, we can’t even get here in Europe! Below, as always, there’s a healthy dose of AI and sprinkling of fashion content.
Until next time, ⚔️ Your Majesty
