For all the valid Metaverse critiques, VR is genuinely an interesting platform for novel experiences. Supernatural absolutely kicked my ass when I tried it. Making exercise fun can be lifechanging for a lot of people.

The first time I ever tried meditating, this song played in my head the whole time: youtu.be/KwIe_sjKeAY?...

If you make up a complete nonsense idiom, google ai will often try to hallucinate a meaning for you.

Let's do this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.

I was dealing with insomnia last month and started implementing a bunch of sleep hygiene stuff. I discovered that dropping the temp in my bedroom has maybe been the biggest factor. I haven't found the floor yet as to what's too cold. I'm sleeping great!

The apps on my phone that are the most in tension are TickTick and TikTok

Finally! Season 5 info has been a complete black hole up until now

Good morning with good news: Electricity is rapidly gaining share of global "useful energy." What is useful energy? See this explanation of primary energy, final energy & useful energy: ourworldindata.org/energy-defin... Electrification can slash primary energy needed. See EVs! #energysky

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can buy oatly at the Business Costco. $3.86 / carton

I've been on an Avatar kick this week, and stumbled across this screen test for the first movie. Unintentionally funny in its set dressing; reminds me of an Assylum Ripoff that would be covered by MST3K. youtu.be/p9nH8cZgPOY?...

Sometimes I lay awake at night, wondering if there's anything that beats a Jet2 holiday

Cable channels at the gym: - Silver-haired Gen X guy talks sports - Friends: The Full Compendium - BREAKING NEWS - Harry Potter Movies 24/7 - Prescription Drug ads on the razors edge of AI slop

This was my favorite r/Seattle reddit post in a while.

If you're ever disappointed that a diehard ambition for your life that fell apart, I hope this can bring some solace: If you are living a peaceful life, if you're conscientious, thoughtful, kind to others, you're living a much bigger net positive existence than a lot of "successful" people.

all meaning has collapsed in our post-literate society and i wrote a bunch of useless, useless words about it. read it if you, like me, are one of a diminishing minority who still reads www.theverge.com/policy/84960...

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

It's still weird to me that Home Alone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets shared the same director (Chris Columbus) and composer (John Williams).

The German slang for doing a cannonball into a pool is an "ass bomb" and I think that's a superior term

Imagine if Governor Semi Bird was overseeing the Washington flooding.

Evil Paul McCartney be like, "Complexly giving a terrible Hannukah space"

The older you get, the more heartbroken you feel learning about senseless tragedy. RIP Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer. Awful, awful news.

One of the most beautiful YouTube videos out there. youtu.be/nQ1gHm8v3ek?...

If Gavin Newsom becomes a frontrunner in 2028, Will Arnett is a shoo-in to play him on SNL

If, like me, you struggle with the Winter darkness, I have just a tiny bit of good news: Yesterday was the earliest sunset. It only gets later from here.

Sora 2: the worst thing to happen this year?

Pissing Out Cancer, my comedy special produced by and formerly exclusively on Dropout.tv is now available for free and in full on YouTube. Thank you so much to Dropout for being chill and letting me write this into my contract! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5G...

One of the myriad ways that our healthcare causes needless anxiety is getting endless enrollment deadline notices when YOU ALREADY ENROLLED.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

I love Rian Johnson's commitment to making organic, human filmmaking.

Corporate consolidation is basically the game blob dot io.

My article on Wake Up Dead Man is live at @sojo.net! I have been completely annoying about this movie to people for the last two weeks, so read my piece to find out why.

As a person prone to catastrophizing, I'm not a fan of youtubers titling their videos stuff like, "I never thought I would make this video", or "We need to talk". Especially when the news is like, changing the release schedule or whatever.

Wake Up Dead Man is excellent. Rian Johnson has delivered a third banger into the franchise.

It's interesting how the magnetic compass has been used for navigation since at least the 11th century, but our understanding of the Earth's magnetic field wouldn't come about until the 19th century. It must have felt like an occult object, a magical needle that always points in the same direction.

We don't talk enough about how obnoxious a name "Mar a Lago" is

Sufjan live songs are such bangers. John My Beloved is so beautifully layered, and the driving piano in this performance only elevates it further youtu.be/0oJINcvq9KA?...

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

Microsoft made headphones with the best interface I've ever experienced, and then completely gave up on them. Why??? Mine are slowly falling apart and I would love to replace them.

I wish I could access an archived version of tiktok from 2021. My feed had the best vibes back then.

I've been learning to sell stuff on ebay, and so far my experience has been that: the interface is ass, and ebay seems to hate its sellers. The one nice part of the process is its shipping calculator.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I appreciate the Costco Auto program for what it offers, but man this interface is ass.

Me when I have a full 30 minutes to leave the store before they close.

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.
