Founded in 2018, Montez Press Radio is broadcast live from the heart of downtown NYC. They have the best original programming happening right now. There’s a rotating line up of new and interesting voices. This is a good way to check the pulse and see what young creatives are talking and thinking about. In an era where big media and cultural institutions feel increasingly irrelevant, Montez Press Radio is an independent and trustworthy voice that stands apart from all the noise.

Free form radio station based out of NJ, you can listen online and on the app, they have archives of shows dating way back and even have a feature on the app where you can ask it to pick a random archived show for you.
My fav shows rn are Pseu's Thing With A Hook, Ken's Show, Wake with Clay Pigeon, Morricone Island [Soundtrack Music show, so awesome], Surface Noise with Joe McGasko, and This Is The Modern World with Trouble and also Daniel Blumin.....
but honestly you just gotta put it on all day and see where it takes you!! I find almost all of my music there these days and have been surprised by how my taste has expanded. The DJs have really deep knowledge of what they're talking about and it just feels very organic.
Also Sophisticated Boom Boom with Sheila B and Gaylord Fields' show are incredible they're just not currently on the air but you can access the archives :)

Mewing is an exercise technique for the tongue and jaw muscles, with the goal of reshaping one’s face into a more desirable Chad-like appearance. In most cases, it involves overpriced plastic bite guards, but I recommend the much more affordable Falim gum (for beginners) or Tears of Chios tree (for experts). It's a very strange and profound thing to watch your face subtly change over time. Don’t go overboard or you will seriously injure your joints!

Artist Rachel Rossin introduced me to this anime series from 1998. Serial Experiments Lain is an early cyberpunk mystery (that predates and heavily influences The Matrix) where the online and offline worlds blur in strange and unexpected ways. The show has some really beautiful art direction and points at today’s “extremely-online” social alienation with incredible foresight.

I honestly hadn’t heard about this book until I saw a shit ton of memes about it a few years ago. Capitalist Realism is a very worthwhile read and I can definitely see why it's so popular now. Fisher does a great job articulating the cultural experience of neoliberalism. This book set me on the right path in life. I also got much smarter and more attractive after reading it.
