Adding in some documentaries, I’d highly recommending watching these climbing docs as a trilogy to understand the scope of what’s being achieved as well as understanding the different approaches to the sport:

The Dawn Wall: Introduces you to climbing legends such as Tommy Caldwell and the difficulty of the sport, with the main focus being one climb in Yosemite.

Free Solo: Takes the dawn wall and makes it look entry level, focuses on Alex Honnold who climbs ‘free solo’ meaning without ropes or a partner.

The Alpinist: Difficult to put into words, focuses on an almost completely unknown climber called Marc-André Leclerc who is to climbing as Michael Phelps is to swimming. This guy completes climbs even the greatest in the sport consider far from humanly achievable, with part of the doc being a battle to even find the guy to film as he doesn’t care for media attention or fame for his climbs.

The docs all contribute to the understanding of what drives the people pushing the bar of what’s considered possible, and in the subsequent docs the previous climbers appear frequently in interviews that adds a kind of continuum which is why I love these 3 together rather than as individual pieces.

Alex Hirsch! Created gravity falls and also gives amazing talks :)

Surprised KEXP hasn’t been mentioned here, always good to trawl through their live shows on youtube to find new bands

God I love when I come home from a hard day at the crumpet factory and no longer have to do the accent

Part of the nature of AI and why it sucks for comics is that there’s no continuity, the castle loses its flags and gains more towers, the bottles behind move and one of them is just straight floating. Signing this is an insult to people who put any effort in to creative expression.

Watch you don’t eat too much of your false dichotomy, you gotta leave room in your stomach for all that animal slurry :)

Equating people not being all good with the mass suffering and slaughter of sentient beings with religious fanaticism sure is a take, sure is interesting how hot it is it is so many places though wonder what a big cause of that might be?

It’s just more milk per milk

It’s as good an excuse as any to wake up at all

They’re clearly moving too fast to answer

Human ride horse

My kitchen tap doesn’t carry that flavour

But but we need to power our virtual idiot with more energy than entire countries use :((

THE BOULDER FINDS JOY IN DEEP, MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE

It is the orange code

Do you even know the difference between a swamp and an ancient bog?

One’s for the pink and the other for the man.

Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point

King gizzard are exceptional, only downside is that it can be a little intimidating with 27 studio albums to choose from for a first listener! Honestly a good method to pick based on what you like is from their album covers, they do a pretty good job summing up what it’ll sound like imo.
