And he's caught so many facefulls of wastewater and sewage while jetting that he really ought to invest in a hazmat suit.

Is brain-rot TikTok cringe yet? The guy who started the trend says 'almost'

A few months ago, I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video that stopped me in my tracks. It starred an animated frog, dressed in a wizard hat, robe, and pink nail polish, superimposed over a psychedelic background and speaking in a hypnotizing, ethereal voice. "It's time to stop doing nothing, and start doing something," he crooned. "I cast . . . motivation!"

A child is born. Before they even landed Earthside, in the language of Instagram, a scan of them as a foetus in utero was uploaded to a waiting audience. The room in which they will sleep the pale pastel paintwork, the carefully curated nursery furniture is all there, ready, waiting: an advertorial empty of its model. Then comes the photo of the baby being born, held aloft to their audience while still covered in vernix, eyes not yet open, their mother smiling, hair perfect.

Staff Picks: Best Songs of the Week January 10th - January 16th

Not only does the track show off Anjimile's lush, patient vocals, it's got a pretty fascinating rhythmic structure; his drummer offsets the groove when they arrive at the chorus, almost like the song gets caught between moving too fast and too slow. That momentum really ramps up in the final refrain, complete with some guitar shredding and open hi-hat smashing. It's a great demonstration of Anjimile's tasteful ear and his ability to match a song's subject with its instrumentation.
