10 links · 2 min. lezen
10 Things is een zeldzame mix van de tien beste dingen online die ons inspireerden, opvielen of aan het lachen maakten. Al meer dan tien jaar met de hand samengesteld, 366 edities verder en zonder opvulling.
A big thank you to everyone who joined us at our Castle of Curiosity event this week. We shared bold ideas and officially launched Brand Delta - our new approach to helping brands reclaim their narrative in the age of AI. More on that very soon…
This week’s 10 Things is full of energy: from agentic commerce and post-gothic visuals, to the rise of “AI slop” and the unexpected vulgarity of the feed. It’s all about sense-making, myth-breaking, and narrative-building.
Let’s jump in. Your Majesty
