the rabbithole of Instagram hoaxes is dark and full of terrors

Links for ya Friday:

Have checked with co-workers, and it’s confirmed: there is nothing as weirdly fascinating as a good Instagram hoax, and this Louise Delage thing is some serious mind fuckery (though prob. Not much more so than maybe 3D-rendering girl?)

Then, because we still got 38 days to go, you need to read ma girl Claire Landsbaum’s piece over at NY Mag on what covering Trump is like when you’re a woman. Still tbd when J-schools will start teaching How To Cover Racist, Lying Assholes Running For Office 101, though I imagine it’d be verrrrry useful.

Aaaaand winner of the best headline today? “Teach Women to Sever Testicles,” which is not as pro-misandry as it sounds, but a very attention-grabbing way for Ozy (this weird like digital semi-news/content hub?) to promote their rather interesting series, “Immodest Proposals.”
