Medium has always been a strange platform for public research and I don't think many tried to support their work through site payouts. I'd guess this is in part because the stories that have often gone viral (and made triple digits, maybe) have either been smarmy tech/self-help drivel or one-offs.

💽 Album: Rosalía’s newest, LUX, for which essentially every song has a corresponding female saint (though not all have been canonized). It’s sanguine, one of her most classically-inspired yet, and a return to her villain music roots.

📕 Book: The Unworthy, a newly translated book by Agustina Bazterrica that is significantly more lyrical and intimate than her human meat hit Tender is the Flesh. Unworthy is set within a convent in the apocalypse,where most everything is built on rules and lies (or both!).

🎬 Film: The Devil’s Bath/Des Teufels Bad (2024), directed by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz. A beautiful, disturbing depiction off the horrors of a life lost to social expectations, based on research in Kathy Stuart's 2023 book Suicide by Proxy in Early Modern Germany: Crime, Sin and Salvation.

The funnier (sadder?) part is that this isn't an actor in the traditional sense, he's co-owner of FaZe Clan and a fairly prominent YouTuber
