Miffy Dancing, Fortune Cookies, and Why Is Search So Bad?


Listen Later

We're (gladly) diving back into the Miffy-verse, talking cover songs and fortune cookies, and asking the question: How did Google search lose its luster??

As expected, the @miffydances Instagram account is perfection.

Cover songs—having a moment! Beyond the epic "Fast Car" moment with Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs, 50 Cent's "P.I.M.P.", by Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band in Anatomy of a Fall, the Kelly Clarkson effect aka Kellyoke, Pedal Steel Noah, Boygenius doing "Cowboy Take Me Away," Leon Bridges performing Bob Marley's "Redemption Song," T Pain's On Top of the Covers album, the Like a Version YouTube show, and Norma Fraser doing Sheryl Crow's "First Cut is the Deepest."

The high five being 47 years old feels, stay with us, kind of like this tweet. Related: High Five by Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri is an excellent children's book by the duo who brought you Dragons Love Tacos.

Fortune cookie–related things include Coming Soon's nickel-plated version, Chefanie's giant ones, and a recipe from Red House Spice.

On the dismal state of internet searching, "The Tragedy of Google Search" by Charlie Warzel for The Atlantic. Other search engines out there: DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and Perplexity, seen in Laura Reilly's installment of the Why Is This Interesting? newsletter.
