I Bought Unrealistic Pinterest Dream Gowns - Safiya Nygaard

As it would turn out, AI slop meets fake images and knockoff merchandise. In some cases the “verified” product listings on Pinterest are straight up using the original image of an expensive dress but instead ship you a knockoff.

Nothing about this product is all too surprising. It’s the perfect modern equivalent of a disposable camera. For all my summers spent at camp, I don’t have any of these photographs readily available. Somewhere in my parent’s garage there are boxes of film prints.

Camp Snap Camera in Flamingo Pink. $65.

I hear this song (from the 1976 album) playing the other day at a dive bar and it struck me. The sort of place where time is frozen in place, standing still. It could be 10 years ago and you wouldn’t know the difference sitting down and having a drink with your friend.

Sometimes the internet has a weird way of surfacing things you wouldn’t otherwise know about. In this case a post on Reddit led me to this 2023 release. There is a short review of her 2 song EP, sincerely, yours. It’s quiet calm relaxing dream pop. See also their YouTube channel and Bandcamp.

I would see an ad for this recipe on Facebook from the New York Times multiple times. I don’t make tomato soup often but when I do I put in put white beans and roasted carrots in a food processor, as suggested by Budget Bytes.
