Something Interesting Week 1

Welcome

Nitzan Hermon

Welcome to something interesting.

This idea came out of my teaching at Parsons. At the end of every class, I ask a student to share something interesting (to them). This way, we can all glimpse something we usually would not be exposed to.

While clunky on the teeth, something interesting has become a sticky concept for me. In this internet moment of post-blogs, quick social media, and AI-generated content, I am nostalgic for the blogging days (I looked up Wayback Machine; my first site was in 2009).

This substack section will be a few links a week.

I invite you to comment, email back, or start your practice of sharing something interesting.

This new release from A24 caught my attention (Safdie, Johnson, Blunt). I can’t wait to see Dwayne Johnson’s acting. I could barely recognize him.
