If you know my wife @alliereidsmith you can appreciate how on-brand this is.
Just heard the new T Swift Ophelia song and it just sounds like an AI heard Lana Del Rey’s “Summertime Sadness” and Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and said, “I’ll take it from here.”

My 16 year old daughter informs me that the boys in her classical cohort are an uncanny combination of Shakespeare and brainrot.
Pray with me that these Princes Hal graduate from Falstaff before they take the reins of this world.
