👩‍🎤 Olivia Rodrigo’s Star-Making “Guts” — The New Yorker

Her music is a canny fusion of piano balladry and retro pop-punk, layered with flavors of grunge and emo. It’s a careful selection of styles that work harmoniously with the attitudinal thrust of her music, which sways between cheeky defiance and melodramatic longing.

🦤 When Twitter Died, So Did Independent Journalism — Dame Magazine

I always thought where ever journalists decided to go, people would follow. But here I am still waiting for a single place I can go to catch up on what’s going on.

🏀 Germany take down the United States 113-111 in the FIBA World Cup Semi — ESPN
