Tiktok is incredible at just mass producing “the [insert thing here] person” which turns normal people, who beforehand would at most get called upon by close friends to explain something every other month, into worldwide micro celebrities with rockstar egos. Which means every day youtube is filled with videos about crashouts and downfalls of people who do shit like…review pencils. “Pencil Penny is acting out of pocket and its got penciltok in an uproar” the internet is so unserious
i love the specification of “alive” in the people magazine “sexiest man alive” award. clearly they’re worried about ötzi the iceman sweeping the competition. as they should be.

One of the hardest laughs I ever saw my mother unleash was after she bought me a copy of Archaeology magazine as a teen.
As I was flipping through I realized there was a fold-out insert of Otzi as part of the feature article. So I unfolded it and turned it sideways to look at it. My mother out of the corner of her eye thought I was looking at a pin-up poster, turned and saw The Ice Man, and laughed uncontrollably for about 10 solid minutes.
