5 Things I'm Into This Week

Metal yells, floating ships, and…Clubhouse?

Even if you know what a superior mirage is, a picture of a hovering ship is still fascinating.

Note: Each week, I share the top 5 things I got the most value out from. My hope is that you find something here that makes you laugh, makes you think or just brings you joy.

Fun facts about the number 15:

• It’s the atomic number of phosphorous

• There are 15 players on a rugby team roster

• It’s the number of letters in the word uncopyrightable

On to the good stuff:

1. The inventor of cassette tapes passed away this week. His work made music infinitely more portable and launched the cottage industry of making mixtapes. He later went on to help develop compact discs.

2. Ever wonder how heavy metal singers keep their voices from disintegrating? They learn to scream correctly.

3. Um, what?

   PSA: There’s a Whale Moan Room on Clubhouse in which everyone just moans (?) like whales (?) for hours. And now this room is in a MASSIVE fight with someone claiming he started the original Whale Moan Room. So now 1000 people are having a moan-off to settle it 🐋 (You’re welcome)

   

4. Before last summer, most people had probably never heard of Kenosha, Wi. The police shooting of Jacob Blake, and the uprising it sparked changed that. The events that followed became a flashpoint for a fractured nation and left many wondering if we were headed for another civil war.

5. Here’s a beautiful look back at the Top 10 airports at the dawn of the Jet Age.

Speaking of which, here’s my favorite plane pic of the week:
