A murder, a pump & dump, nudes, a pardon

Bonjour,

With all the hours I clocked this year, I’d like a Spotify Wrapped for this:

If you want to hear about Memecoins and DEX Screener listen to our latest podcast episodes.

As ever, there is a lot to catch up on from the last seven days on the internet. What do a murder, a pump-and-dump, nudes, a pardon, and Spotify all have in common?

They’re all getting you worked up into a dopamine-fueled scroll that keeps you coming back for more and more and more. Whether good or bad, right or wrong, the timeline is full of tiny thrills—either of completely fitting in, or of visceral disagreement.

A girl who joked about spitting on dicks pumped and dumped.

The CEO of a health insurance company was murdered, and the timeline was ablaze.

Spotify Wrapped not only had people calling their therapists, but also jumping on the rage train. Because it kind of sucked. Maybe due to tech layoffs and AI!? Who’s to say.

An OnlyFans model came out and said yeah I’m really rich.

There was McDonald’s news, Sabrina Carpenter drama, and Hunter Biden was pardoned.

These cheap thrills—whether fitting in or freaking out—give everyone (myself included) a delulu belief that our opinions, thoughts, musical tastes, etc., deserve to be heard and distributed as far and wide as Elon and Zuck will allow. This dynamic turns our personal values into a kind of content currency that keeps the opinion machine endlessly turning. Maybe we all just need to feel something...

$nackwarp - our very own Caitlyn launched her first token. A fan account for the upcoming return of the McDonald’s Snack Wrap. Will it make it to primetime?

$dream - the token behind the Dreamcoins platform (a no-code, no-crypto tool for creating new coins). So now, even I, am the dev.

$comicsans - design bois have entered the chat and it’s either very serious or deeply unserious I’m not sure.
