![]() I don’t quite know how to feel about her after reading this, but my first thought is that I don’t think she comes off all that well.Once you have my formula for casseroles you’ll be making them all the time. ![]() This article I think does a good job of charting that, while also providing an interesting look at the anonymous woman behind the account. Now I feel like the account - what it posts, the way it posts - has become a story in itself, with fans on Facebook groups and the subreddit spending more time discussing the running of the account rather than the celebs it posts about. So, all of this to say that of course I followed on instagram last year and was obsessed with it for the first few weeks. Back in the wild days of 2009, the covers were always either about Rob and Kristen (they should’ve had a dozen kids by now since she was allegedly pregnant every second week) or how sad Jen was about Brad. My love for celeb gossip began in earnest in my year 11 General Maths classes, when a classmate would routinely bring in a couple of magazines for us to pore over. The Joy and Agony of Being Instagram’s Accidental Gossip Queen Isn’t there some part of you that wants to not just be seen as some Korean guy? Like maybe you’d rather just talk about the craft of acting or something?” “There must be some part of you that saw a Korean writer was going to be writing a profile of you and knew where all this was going. Almost like a lid trying its very best to stay on top of a bubbling pot. There’s a practiced calm in Yeun’s voice when he speaks, but underlying it is a manic, yet ultimately charming, energy. “What do you mean?” he replied earnestly. “Weird question, but do you even want to talk about all this Korean stuff?” I asked Yeun. (Also, the pictures accompanying the profile are very good.) It’s written by Jay Caspian Kang, a Korean-American writer, and I found the conversation they have about being Asian in America and the representation of Asian Americans in popular culture very interesting. Just a very good profile of the actor Steven Yeun ahead of the release of his movie Minari, about South Korean immigrants in the US. The successful metropolis endures thanks to its adaptive powers. Another conclusion is that cities are social arrangements, not fixed geographical entities or accumulations of architecture. That’s a precedent that the stewards of New York’s infrastructure may want to study. Angkor’s reservoirs were oriented in the wrong direction to manage its worsening cycle of floods and droughts, and its rulers gave up on rebuilding them. One lesson of Newitz’s book is that decline is a collective choice. I’m not going to lie to you, I won’t read the book, but the review was thought-provoking: This is a review of a book called Four Lost Cities, looking at once-vibrant cities that now lie dead, like Pompeii. If Your City Were Really Dying, You Probably Wouldn’t Know On the engineering/development side, Curbed then wrote more about the structural problems facing the building in Will a Supertall Building Like 432 Park Always Have Problems? I know nothing about engineering so learning about this is both fascinating and scary!! Tall buildings swaying in the wind? I do not love to see it. When the building opened in late 2015, homeowners were required to spend $1,200 a year on the service in 2021, that requirement jumps to $15,000, despite limited hours of operation because of the pandemic. Some residents also railed against surging fees at the building’s private restaurant, overseen by the Michelin-star chef Shaun Hergatt. Some of the problems stem from the way the tower was built and developed, while some of them are very, ok, let me find my tiny violin: The New York Times wrote about an 80-plus storey residential tower for the uber-rich in Manhattan, looking at all the problems that have plagued it and its residents since they moved in. Something that I have discovered about myself through the pandemic is that I love learning about how big things are put together and/or work, like trains, cruise and cargo ships, and now, apparently, skyscrapers. ![]() The Downside to Life in a Supertall Tower: Leaks, Creaks, Breaks This was predictably very sad and made me cry but was beautiful. The Ringer wrote about a few of Gigi Bryant’s teammates, a year on from the helicopter accident. Then, if that’s got you too hype and you need a sad song vibe to bring you back down (idk I’m just trying to cater to different needs), here’s a good one: Happy Monday! Here’s some inspiration for your week from one of my favourite tiktokers. ![]()
