#OpenTabs v0.68: Nostalgiacore
America is 80% queer(?), mushroom computers, the philosophy of AI, and personal donut holders.
Hey Friendsters,
I’ve been thinking a lot about nostalgia lately, and apparently, I am not alone. This week I came across several links that explore the bittersweet nature of the feeling — and why everyone’s vibing with it these days.
There’s also a healthy mix of Weird to keep things exciting, including strange movie title translations and The Matrix IRL.
Enjoy this week’s Open Tabs!
