A letter for 2085
On George Street in Sydney, the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) stands tall and proud, harboring a secret that’s got the world scratching its head.
Inside this historic marvel, there’s a quirky black case attached to a red wall, boldly labeled “The Queen’s Letter.” And inside this glassy enigma lies a sealed letter from none other than Queen Elizabeth II herself, penned in November 1986.
Now, this isn’t just any old letter. No, the Queen’s instructions are crystal clear: “On a day of your choosing in the year 2085, please open this envelope and share my message with the lovely citizens of Sydney.” Why 2085, you ask? That’s when a 99-year lease on the QVB is set to wrap up, leading to wild speculation that the letter might have something to do with this grand property deal.
And this isn’t the only secret scribble the Queen left behind. Before her passing, she wrote a couple of private letters, one to her son, King Charles, and another to her top aide. They were discovered in her famous red dispatch boxes after her death. Plus, there’s a mysterious letter concerning Prince Harry’s security!
So, Sydney, get your calendars ready for 2085 👀
Gen Alpha’s brain is rotting, thanks to TikTok
So, you’ve probably seen the "Miaw Miaw cat" craze taking over the internet, right? It’s this wild trend where AI churns out videos of tabby cats meowing to hit songs like Billie Eilish’s “What Was I Made For?” and Sia’s “Unstoppable.” These clips, showcasing cats dealing with human struggles like bullying and breakups, have snagged a jaw-dropping 50 million views on TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
But here’s where things get a little concerning: this whole trend is a prime example of what’s being called Gen Alpha brain rot. Yep, you heard that right!
These videos might seem like harmless fun, but they’re also a window into how short-form, AI-generated content is shaping young minds.
When kids are used to consuming media that’s easy and quick, they might find it harder to handle more nuanced or complicated emotions. For example, real-life situations or complex narratives in movies or books require patience and deeper thinking. But, if kids are used to immediate emotional feedback from simple content, they might struggle with understanding and processing more layered emotional experiences.
So, while the "Miaw Miaw cat" videos might bring a chuckle or a tear, they also spotlight a bigger issue: the impact of today’s media diet on young minds. It’s a good idea to keep an eye on how much social media content your kid is consuming. Balancing their screen time can help ensure they’re not just getting instant emotional hits but also developing the skills to handle more complex feelings and stories.
So, that’s it for today. Let’s meet again next week 👋 Till then, stay curious, and write a letter or two!
