NYT: lighthouse keepers find a 132-year-old message in a bottle.

The Art of Pants: the Tim Burton of Instagram. I love his weird, funny, scraggly, creepy art!

SmallScaleLA: handmade, extremely detailed recreations of LA landmarks

The Offline Club: a digital detox cafe in Amsterdam. I would totally go!

Music: “Seventeen” by Sjowgren, “Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl” by Broken Social Scene (an older song that’s having a renaissance because it was featured in the movie I Saw the TV Glow - great movie!), “Weekend Friend” by Goth Babe, a cover of Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place” by Sure Sure, a cover of Chappell Roan’s “Red Wine Supernova” by Orla Gartland, and “People Need A Melody” by The Head and the Heart.

I had my first offsite with the Patreon video team this week at this incredible co-working spot (The Preserve). This was our conference room! It felt straight out of Jurrassic Park.

They even had their own bookshop!

The YouTube show Public Opinion also hosts a music show called Track Star Presents, similar to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts. I enjoyed this performance of Winnetka Bowling League covering Chappell Roan’s “Casual”.

Fantastic stop-motion animation by @brian.ayooo.

The heartwarming story of Jay Fosgitt, who wrote a letter to Jim Henson as a kid and then worked with him as an adult many years later :’) Here’s a video Jay made talking about the experience!

This guy made a mini-Blockbuster video store in his tiny closet.
