This is the nastiest read

Bonjour,

What’s happening on the internet this week? A lot of dumb shit and I couldn’t love it more. Reporting on it here, in this newsletter, is an honor and a privilege.

We’re all about being read to filth this week EXCEPT for this music group from Cork, Ireland aka mini British Brockhampton that has no business going so hard.

The foundational text for this week’s internet was a quote tweet competition that took off, with Twitter users firing up screen recordings of their favorite ‘nastiest read’ TV and movie scenes. Put it in the Louvre, I say. It’s peak zero-insights-pure-entertainment Twitter. Enjoy the scroll.

IMO the thread speaks to a broader trend of being read to filth that spread across the internet this week. From Kelly Rowland rightfully giving it to a sus security guard on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

To the internet lovingly roasting nepo baby Romy Mars, daughter of Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars (lead singer of Phoenix), for her debut EP (which slaps).

As well as the great roasts of the Canva cringe heard round the world.

Last, but certainly not least, Google’s shiny new AI Overviews feature is highlighting humanity's own layered ability to dunk on thyself. The new feature scans the internet to provide ‘an AI-powered answer’ to Google search queries. The problem is that decades-old shitposts have clogged many results, and users are, you guessed it, being RTF (read to filth).

For example, Google telling users to add glue to their pizza because in 2003 a Reddit user named “fucksmith” said so. 10/10, no notes.
