Back in the day Kenji (who worked at Serious Eats and wrote some of the best NYTCooking recipes) used to make these "late night" videos where--clearly tired and/or drunk from a night's work--he'd strap a gopro on his noggin and make cheap grub while huffing and sighing heavily (in the daytime videos he tells you about the recipe) and it makes me so happy to know pro chefs also make drunk meals

I recently got hooked on this food review channel. Joe is just a pleasant man from Georgia reviewing new fast food menu items. 10min format. Has like ten go-pros strapped to his car. Amazingly specific and consistent. The most ambitious Final-Cut-style editing you’ll ever see.

I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning, so I like to watch these very soothing videos of people across the globe waking up at like 5 a.m. to make homemade bread and soup and listen to the birds. No dialogue, no influencer-voice, just thoughtful little captions. Choki is the OG.

not a drinker, nor a smoker anymore, but i used to hugely enjoy the way niche media made me feel. role play videos, youtube rabbit holes, and underground (perhaps shitty student-made) short films are just best consumed under the influence of something a little goofy. preferably light, ideally funny, but mostly just a little off kilter.

it sounds stupid and pretentious but every time I see one of those old school British actors recite some old Wordsworth poem i think damn you really did it!!! Or George Steiner has those beautiful stories about the value of Talmudic memory during the holocaust, or Pasternak standing up to Stalin during the Soviet Writer's Conference in the 30s surely to be arrested and making everyone recite Shakespeare's "I summon up remembrance of things past.." its so powerful!!! Recitation and memory has such strength to it, and I want to keep it strong!
I'm trying to learn a Blake poem rn and I feel such a special connection to every line when I learn them... who cares if im pretentious!!!!!!
