It's okay to be tired. Just have some bottomless coffee and stare off into the distance. It helps. Here's some entertainment.
- Conner O'Malley - "Slugs" - Over the years, O'Malley has gone more and more subversive with his videos. This is a fantastic piece of work containing plenty of the absurd and true social commentary. The very end made me extremely uncomfortable, which I think is the point? Hopefully it is taken for the satire and commentary that it is.
- Kiwi Nutrition Reform - a campaign to help get Japan eating healthier.. with Kiwi. Of course the commercial is incredible start to finish. There's another one worth watching too.
- Woman & Octopus Are Best Friends - I don't care that this is The Dodo and it's something your aunt would send you on Facebook. It's delightful.
- SNL's Chloe Fineman on Letterman - in 2004, Chloe Fineman appeared on Letterman to show off her own stupid human trick of bird calling. It's legimately impressive and truly stupid at the same time.
- Criterion Closet: Ben Affleck Picks - these are always entertaining but Affleck is much more of a cinephile than I think he gets credit for. Also, his comments on Dazed & Confused and Armageddon are a delight.
- The Making of Charli XCX Joke - really enjoying everything I see from the John Mulaney Netflix show. This stupid joke with behind-the-scenes sendup is just more affirmation that it's a treat! Another good one here.
- Lindy Hop Moments - I personally have no interest in being a competitive dancer but I'd be lying if I said this isn't impressive. It's wild and seems like they're having a blast.
- Dschinghis Khan / Starparade 1979 - In 2025, this isn't particularly outlandish to see anymore but that doesn't make it any less refreshing. A 46-year old musical performance of some heavily themed pop music from Germany that looks like the precursor to the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers should not go unappreciated.
