Freaking out a little reading The Body by Bill Bryson. There’s a section about fungi that have evolved to grow in humans. Very strong real world #LastOfUs vibes. 😱🍄

Rewatched Tremors this evening because why not. Jaws, but on land, with Kevin Bacon. 🤷‍♂️

Then stumbled on this pretty damn cool print by http://stevenlurosholliday.com.

Anyone else use #HansZimmer soundtracks for super intense productivity music? My favourites: Interstellar soundtrack, Dunkirk soundtrack, Dune soundtrack.

Also related and amazing... Hans Zimmer breaking down Dune on Song Exploder.

Searching a library's GitHub issues for info about an error. One result, no answers. "Well at least someone else had this problem!". One full minute later. "Oh. That was me."
