What I’m listening to: Brad try to sing the White Lotus theme song.
What I’m watching: Lots and lots of White Lotus TikTok theories. I’m now deep in the algorithm of content with ideas on which characters will die, how long Greg has been involved in the bamboozle, what the three-generation of men really represent, and everything from Aubrey Plaza’s press tour. I’m not mad about it, but it makes me wonder … what will happen then tomorrow? (Also, how in the world are they going to wrap up all these loose ends in one hour?!)
What I’m reading: I really liked this Vulture piece from the filming of White Lotus in Sicily. I knew a little bit about Mike White beforehand, but I really respect his process and what he’s trying to do with the show even more after reading it. I thought it was inspiring to understand how he dives into these topics and thinks about the seasons as different macro themes. He’s not afraid to tackle something big and make his characters unlikeable – and ask HBO for a big budget. I’m into it.
What I ate: Pasta with clams.
What I can’t stop thinking about: See above. And last week. And any text message I’ve sent in the last seven days.
