brilliant Geography songs with great production. British Isles, Former USSR, Eastern Europe, and Middle East are all highlights of the 34 track album but the true gem to me is Southeast Asia

my favorite youtube personality, makes incredibly insightful and charming videos about beach boys songs. She'll recreate or analyze entire songs and focus on specifics of different songs/eras of the beach boys. She focuses in on what interests me about the Brian Wilson, both the technical and emotional

Was a Bizarre tennis superstar from the 70s and 80s. His tennis playing was graceless but amazing, he moved like an action figure, rarely came up to the net yet hit every ball spinless, low, and from the back of court, which doesn’t make much sense because topspin makes your hits more reliably land in play from a distance. He used a Wilson T2000 which was the first widely-distributed non-wooden racket, made of heavy stainless steel that most other tennis players refused to use, even when it was new in 1967. He continued to use it until 1987, missing out on of millions of dollars of racket sponsorship deals. He was distinguished for being widely unliked by tennis audiences and commentators. His Wikipedia article includes how he would put his racket in between his legs when he disagreed with a call and waddle around the court, then would “yank on the handle in a grotesque manner,” which the crowd hated.

Is another website I love, created and maintained by an eccentric and apparently isolated pseudo-scientist named Eugene M. McCarthy. It features a confusing and unnavigable index of pages all providing recorded instances of trans-species hybrids: Cat x RabbitAxis Deer × TahrAss x ZebraPig x Human (for some reason McCarthy finds this particular hybrid to be the most credible and irrefutable account of a human hybrid, but its clearly just a deformed piglet). Poking around macroevolution.net and finding all sorts of disturbing and compressed images of these creatures that offend the natural order combined with the fragmented, disorganized site design gives you an acute uneasy sensation of disgust. Many of the pages back up dubious hybrid accounts with only ancient drawings McCarthy found, others have more credible evidence like photographs, and may go as far as, such as on Dog × Cow, including actual GIFs of one of the species fornicating with the other.
