This day in history

I'm kickstarting the audiobook for "The Internet Con: How To Seize the Means of Computation," a Big Tech disassembly manual to disenshittify the web and bring back the old, good internet. It's a DRM-free book, which means Audible won't carry it, so this crowdfunder is essential. Back now to get the audio, Verso hardcover and ebook:

thing that are weird still sold online.

GloFX LED Fade Earrings

Among the byproducts of this festival circuit from Woodstock to Hakkasan has become a grey market of people seeking to market festivalgoers complete garbage. Sometimes it ends up, and you get tie-dye tops or glow sticks as a sign of an whole movement. From time to time, you get inexpensive baubly crap that does not seem quite as lit in Ibiza or even Vegas because it did if you're trying it in the toilet. All these"fashion rave party rings" seem like illuminated Frankenstein bolts, and may just seem better in the event of a "Disco Prism Ball" LED necklace ($2.01) or a couple of Fiber Optic Hair Braid Barrettes (15 for $11.99) in the tips of some not-well-thought-out holiday cornrows.

LIGHTSTORY Bluetooth Speaker Smart Bulb

We will openly confess that, after 40 decades or so, the dorm-room blacklight probably had an upgrade. But a four-color bulb producing up to 12 colors while being manipulated via an app which streams music to its associated speaker? Even in the event that you would like your space to be the Electric Daisy Carnival if you walk in, it requires a great deal of prep work to make that occur. At best, you have managed to provide yourself a very expensive alarm clock ft over your bed.

Height-Adjustable Golf Chipping Net

There are just a few heaps of crap as large as the ones pushed at beginner golfers.

So, Rickie Fowler Jr., you believe hacking divots from your yard and chipping at what seems like a disk golf target using a flag attached to it will tighten up this brief match of yours? Do yourself and your landscaping a favor and play a couple rounds of Golden Tee in the closest pub instead. It is going to be just as useful whilst squandering less of your own time.

Dark, Orange and Purple Wooden Rose Halloween Screen

When you visit the Netherlands or into Belgium, souvenir stands will give you hardwood tulips since they are a great deal easier to get through customs (and last a good deal longer) than the actual thing. But getting imitation wooden roses in a state where actual ones are plentiful, getting them "Halloween Colors" then not going full goth onto it by creating them only all-black, Corpse Bride-style bouquets just makes no sense. People today moan about the pumpkin spice-ification of autumn, simply slapping orange, black and orange onto something and calling it"Halloween ______" is much more idle -- and much less appetizing or agreeable to smell.

GuruNanda "Zen" Aromatherapy Diffuser (Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser) with Built-in Bluetooth Speaker

We do not begrudge anyone a belief system, but we are going to go ahead and point out Ayurveda and Hinduism -- that GuruNanada definitely takes its cues from -- is entirely distinct in the Zen school of Buddhism. Butthen again, this really is something that's somehow simplifying and debilitating you are lifestyle by taking a very simple oil diffuser -- critically, a tea candle beneath a glass plate gets the job done attaching a Bluetooth speaker into it and flashing an LED lighting at you. Oddlyenough, practitioners somehow were able to find peace before without attaching a high-intensity mild plus a Spotify list for this.

#OddlyEnough: When The Weird Meets Wild, It Sure Gets Funny

#OddlyEnough: When The Weird Meets Wild, It Sure Gets Funny

Entombed Before Time

Mike Parr, a 73-year-old performance artist whose creative endeavors typically explore physical limits, was entombed in the mini-shipping container late on Thursday and the road was resealed above him.

Oxygen was pumped into the container where Parr had access to water, reading and writing material, a heater and a distress button in case anything went wrong – but no food. He was equipped with a bucket for sanitary use, says a report.

The burial act was part of the Dark Mofo Festival on the island state of Tasmania. It was designed to highlight violence perpetrated by colonialists against Aboriginal communities, the festival said on its website.

Parr’s previous performance art included wrapping himself up in fuse wire, then setting it alight, and sewing up his face, says a Reuters report.

Dark arts festivals showcase artwork and performances that often celebrate ancient rituals. The festival has attracted controversy for placing inverted red crosses across Hobart, Tasmania’s capital, prompting some Christian groups to denounce the installations as satanic.

Paddling Away To Glory 

A Florida woman has completed a more than 100-mile (160-kilometer) voyage from Cuba to the Florida Keys on a stand-up paddle board.

Victoria Burgess arrived in Key West on Wednesday, paddling across the Florida Straits in just under 28 hours, says a report. Burgess is believed to be the first woman to make the trip from Cuba to the Keys on a standup paddleboard.

The 34-year-old said that she wanted to set a record and serve to inspire others to accomplish their goals. She says she hopes to have the feat sanctioned by Guinness World Records. Burgess is a Pompano Beach fire inspector, previously having served as a firefighter and paramedic, says a report by The Associated Press.

The Kangaroos Love For The Game 

The Australian soccer team competing at the World Cup is called the Socceroos. But a different kind of soccer-roo has dominated a pitch for half an hour in Canberra during a women’s match, said a report.

The misguided marsupial made its first appearance on the stadium soccer field during the half time break on Sunday afternoon in a match between Canberra’s two top teams — Canberra Football Club and Belconnen United, Canberra FC official Amber Harvey said on Monday.

The male eastern gray kangaroo bounded back during the second half, indifferent to efforts to drive him away and delaying play for 32 minutes, Harvey said. “It was just a real menace,” Harvey said, according to The Associated Press.

“A few people came close to it to see if they could maybe get it to move on. It stood up pretty tall. I think it was just over 6 feet (183 centimeters), so they backed off pretty quickly. But I don’t think anyone was alarmed too much by it,” she added.

Players and officials tried to drive the unexpected pitch invader away by kicking balls at him with little impact. Video showed it apparently using his long hind legs and powerful tail to deflect balls from the goal area. “It didn’t react. It just kind of lay down,” Harvey said.

When A Dog Performs CPR 

Can dogs perform CPR? Probably not, but a video posted by police in Madrid sure makes it seem so, said The Associated Press report.

In a video posted on Facebook, Poncho the dog springs into action when his partner falls to the ground and pretends to be unresponsive. The dog’s actions mimic CPR. The dog pounds up and down on the officer’s chest and pauses to place its ear on the officer’s neck. Poncho continues until the officer stands up.

Police write that Poncho “did not hesitate for an instant” to save a life.

One Flew Over The Macaw’s Nest

A macaw that flew away from Omaha’s zoo after apparently being spooked by the Goodyear blimp has been found in a nearby neighborhood, said a report.

The Omaha World-Herald reports the macaw, named Cayenne, was out during the zoo’s Birds of Flight show Sunday morning when it was startled by the blimp drifting past. The bird flew out of an amphitheater and past the zoo’s boundaries.

Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium staff sought the public’s help, and on Monday morning a nearby resident tipped them off about the bird’s whereabouts. Staffers spotted the bird, and after flying to another tree it came down when called.

The red, green and blue bird, which is a member of the parrot family, was returned to the zoo and quickly joined her sister in eating treats, said The Associated Press.
