Weather Report #46: Journalism vs. Influencers, Death of Digital Media, and Midwest Shoegaze

Hello, dear reader! Welcome to your Weather Report, a (sometimes) weekly column where I recommend some articles, a book, a movie, and some music for readers to consume.

Here's what you're getting this week:

1. Essays, articles, and columns about: the white supremacist couple in the White House, influencers vs. journalist, the death of digital media, and shoegaze's Midwest influence.
2. A coming-of-age film about what it means to grow up under constant surveillance and the rise of fascism.
3. Three chill songs to listen to late into the night
