johnke.meFor the last four years, Vanity Fair have been doing an interview with Billy Eilish where they ask her the same questions each year year. They first caught her in 2017, right before she blew up, so it’s amazing to watch the changes as she’s become one of the biggest pop stars in the world.
A little too real.
A hilarious thread from someone who hated the first book as much as I did. But what’s with the random, selective takedowns of pictures of her highlighted passages from the book? Who is the copyright holder in cases where it’s a photo of a book that only contains whole passages from other, better things?

This is just adorable but it’s also is a great example of how hard is to be a parent and not let your parenting affect your day job.
Andy Samberg recommends some things he’s been enjoying recently. His review of Portrait of a Lady on Fire is pretty spot-on.
I love Hey a lot, but I’m not really sure this needed to be a platform as opposed to just an extension of a client. Andrew Canion does a great job of showing how close you can get with just MailMate.
