[nonostantement #304] - argentina vs ai / elliott erwitt / deepfakes going nuclear
Now with MORE sunsets!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with powerful, available, and insightful stuff found all over the Internet.
Hey, my name is Joele. In this e-mail I collect the most interesting things I find on the internet as I wander online. I usually send it on Sundays. No, wait I actually always send it on Sundays, as I have done every Sunday for more than five years now.
A couple of nice tracks: Dabrye - Take Me Home and The Gaslamp Killer meets The Heliocentrics - 5 Boroughs
