Rebrands, Robots & Water Bottles
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.
Instagram had a strange couple of weeks — a first brand refresh in a decade, and a $200bn lawsuit over how addictive its feed is designed to be. Trust in AI keeps wobbling too: young people can't stand AI executives, Google's answers are reshaping what we even bother asking, and "nice" cultures are hiding real problems instead of solving them. And somewhere between a messenger app that delivers texts by pigeon and an archive of Italian water bottle labels, the internet remembered it's still allowed to be pointless and lovely.
Enjoy, 🪞 Your Majesty
