you wouldn’t last an hour

Buenos amigos,

Natasha here, thanks for having me in your inbox. This newsletter has relaunched as a new/old concept, Too Online, wreaking havoc on your inbox every week. Think of it as unserious internet news, by an unserious person.

Our cult classic podcast by the same name is expanding its world to the written word. Each week I’ll explain the internet to you as best I can, from viral moments to online phenomenas, digital subcultures to trending topics. I’m too online so you don’t have to be. Hope you like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ily,

Nostalgia hit the timeline hard last week. The broader news landscape has been sad and dark lately, leaving people looking for their internet dopamine fix in a reliable place - memory lane. Nostalgia is king rn, let’s look at how it’s showing up ~online~.

First, ‘you wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me,’ a twisted evolution of ‘I grew up in these streets’ birth from the new TSwift album but brought to life by Twitter users. Study below:

This one obviously wins:

Second, 12 seconds with the Spice Girls shot on an iPhone by Instagram husband David Beckham. At Victoria Beckham’s 50th bday celebration, Sporty, Spicy, Scary, Baby, and Ginger all briefly reunited for a drunken dance. Catching the original girlies hitting the choreography of Stop was a pleasant stop the scroll moment:

Lastly, the NYC throwback crossover no one has thought to care about. The Martha Stewart of the NYC art scene, Mary Boone, gots a S/O on the new Vampire Weekend album. We talk about this and the revival of miming in this week’s Too Online podcast.
