It might not seem like
it since time is all out of whack during the pandemic, but in a few short
weeks, it will be fall. Anyone else have trouble knowing what month, or day, it
is?
My confusion aside,
it’s time for another rundown of the great work done at Gizmodo this week!
We’ll start our list
with bounce music, or New Orleans’ quintessential style of hip hop built on simple, one-bar drum beats, call-and-response style refrains, outrageously
sexual lyrics and beats you can shake your booty to. Hurricane Katrina forced
roughly 400,000 New Orleans residents to relocate in 2005. However, they brought bounce
music with them. In the end, the music helped them find hope
and community.
Next, you know how
everyone’s talking about the importance of social distancing like it’s something
set in stone? Well apparently, it’s not. Some scientists say that instead of
staying strictly six feet away from others during the pandemic, people should consider
their circumstances.
To finish off, we want
you to ask yourself a question: If you were living
in a tech dystopia, would you notice? Are we living in one right now? We asked
a number of experts, but you’ll have to make your own decision.
