Hi Friends!
Welcome and thank you for being one of the first subscribers to my newsletter. Here is another Friday Recs weekly post. A list of all the things I found worthwhile this week. Feel free to forward this along to friends.
It’s the end of the week! Here’s a
A Series I’m watching
Lost Season 1 Episode 7 (IMDb, Disney+)
Ever wondered what it’d feel like to survive a plane crash and be stranded on an island on God knows what continent with a slim hope of being rescued?
Well, I haven’t. I mean I try not to.
But that didn’t deter me from having a go at the 2004 Lost series.
Yes, 2004. Trust me, the best shows were made ages ago.
You’d think a show about people stranded on an island would be cliche, boring or eventually get stuck with no new developments. But! it doesn't look that way thus far. The showrunners have found an excellent way to weave the past lives of every character into their current situation.
Hopefully, not their untimely demise.
Great characters, and an excellent but simple plot. That’s what I love most so far.
If you’re not sold, there’s a younger Ian Somerhandler in the show. Damon from Vampire Diaries. That ought to do the trick 😉.
If you’ve Lost, who’s your favourite character? Comment below 😁.
Video I’m enjoying
Ever wondered why the Uncharted movie left a bitter-sweet taste in your mouth?
Learn how you think with The Science of Thinking by Veritasium. Try not to binge!🤣
A short, deep CGI short film for the fans of Superman.
Jordan Peterson on Is Lust Adultery. Do you find this controversial or insightful and do you agree?
What I’m reading
Everyone is calling for a pause on AI advancements, not just Elon Musk.
What I'm listening to
Quote I’m thinking about
The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.
