wildest shit on twitter is two people in a loop of calling each other a bot, each a sentient person convinced the other is a programmed entity. i don't know where this ranks in the science fiction rating scale that is our world now

@videodante Everyone was worried that Artificial intelligence would be a problem once it could pass a Turing test and nobody thought to worry about what might happen when two humans were too dumb to administer a Turing test.

I think I just have to accept that I’m the kind of millennial that isn’t good at Instagram Stories, but will drop everything he’s doing to read an oral history of Double Dare.

Stop what you're doing and load up
Enhance.computer - a CSI style web game in which you try to locate a secret code inside of an image, using your voice. Commands like "Zoom In" and "Enhance" - spoken aloud - are the name of the game. It's best played in a busy office or co-working space where everyone will look at you like an absolute loon. via

- Howdy Partner - Howdy Partner!
- T.O.P - DOOM DADA - this week I was slowly introduced to some proper K-Pop. It's kinda great.
- Hotline Bling: SVU - an absolutely stupid mashup. It barely works. Actually, it's hard to say it "works" at all! I watched the whole thing.
- Howie Mandel - "Watusi" - I'm sorry but if I have to know this exists, you have to know this exists.
- 28" Cheese Pizza Challenge - this mountain of a man eats an entire 28" pizza by himself. Sadly, there's no crazy turn of events like a 10-minute barfing or even major sweats. He just eats the whole thing no problem. I was transfixed in the worst way.
- Noice - your reminder that Weird Internet hasn't gone anywhere.
- Your Best Metal Scream - 7 minutes of people attempting to perform a legit metal scream. It's long but lots of amusing results along the way.
Have a great weekend. Take a deep dive into
Vent Haven, the museum where ventriloquist dummies go to die. HT

I've got a new favorite album! I knew @vanityset's production would be fantastic, but I wasn't ready for @jasminkaset's distinctive vocals or strong lyrical voice. https://t.co/lATX4DfpiF https://t.co/rEfGGNrut8

Speaking of
new podcasts I'm enjoying, here's one from
Olivia Ladd called
Bandsplainer. The summary:
The podcast where we explain bands.
I sit down with Nashville musicians, artists, scenesters and friends to talk about the history behind our favorite cult bands.
It's a deep dive into various influential musicians with the musicians that are influenced by them. This
Black Flag episode with
Zach Prosser is a captivating listen to say the least; especially if you don't know a damn thing about Black Flag.

There is an endless well of podcasts out in the world to listen to. I think that's a good thing, personally. It's like music - a little something for everybody and tons of room to share entertaining or enlightening things, should you find them.
One new podcast I've been diving into recently is the
Food Court Movie Podcast from
Sean Parrott and
Jon Burr, two absurdly fanatic movie goers. The conceit of the show is that they record in a mall food court before and after seeing a film. It's a funny enough concept but the over-the-top nature of Jon Burr versus the more metered and subtle nature of Parrot is a nice combination.
It's only two episodes so far, so maybe the jury is still out but I'm enjoying thus far.

This
massive thread from
Ryan Ruppe is a phenomenal read. Months on months of extreme quality recommendations. I could never make it through everything but I'm excited to have a well to dip into whenever I'm looking for something new to hear.
