009 - OFFLINE ALGORITHM
An anti-scroll collection of newsworthy things we watched & read this week.
Editor's Note: This is our weekly roundup of interesting things from across the internet, collated in an anti-doomscroll formation. We'll cover everything from cultural phenomena to niche articles from across the web, and throw in a few pieces from OBSCURAE for good measure, in case you missed them. This is a new series for us, so if you have any thoughts or notes, send us an email – team@obscurae.co.uk.
If you want to go a step further and support the work we do, you can become a paid subscriber for £5 a month - it keeps OBSCURAE independent, ad-free, and digging deeper into the culture you care about.
