Hi, Internet People!!!! This issue is for the perfectionists who are terrified of a blank page, people who want to make music but don’t have the technical skills, and b*tches in STEM who are curious about robots 👀

WYD in 2 hours?

💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

One of the most consistent things we hear from people in our ecosystem is how surprised and delighted they are that lowering the bar works.

This week on the blog, we spill our favorite way of applying this philosophy — the shitty first draft.

👀 One Thing We’re Obsessed With

Not another AI tool 🤖

Okay okay, we know! We feel exactly the way you do — can we just improve the existing things available instead of rolling out the AI version of something no one asked for?

But… every once in a while something comes a long that’s ~*not like other AI *~

This internet gem will appeal to anyone interested in making music (esp if you have no clue how to make it from scratch). Sometimes we have to spend hours scrolling through cheesy royalty free music to try to find the right sounds for our projects when maybe we could just start… making our own?!

🍿 One Thing We’re Watching

In our Ultimate Guide to Slow TV, we recommend this show, but this recent episode was a slam dunk and so cool to see what Japanese engineers and designers are working on.

Science & Design: Evoking the Future

Exhibition director Yamanaka Shunji introduces prototypes and design sketches, guiding us through the potential that comes from joining science and design.

🤔 One Question For You

Last week, we asked which would ruin your life the fastest if leaked: your camera roll, Notes app, or search history. Most of you said Notes app… what do you guys have in there???? 🤨
