the only thing I haven't mentioned is: I *love* all the cute links to the little clips. I didn't click on most of them though because it felt disruptive to my reading style. But now I'm kind of wishing for a version of this that is (1) I guess like a youtube video essay, OR (2) an interactive article where I can like, hover over them to play the videos inline. Or if they were gifs inline or something!!
(I love that it like, gives me a glimpse of the person who wrote the article, a real human being with culture touchstones, not just words on a screen)
I love this SO much I couldn't fit all my comments here, published my notes here: https://github.com/DefenderOfBasic/works-in-progress/discussions/41
