Went to see James Acaster tonight but he didn’t show up. Craig Simons, the UK's number one James Acaster tribute act, showed up instead. This confused the hell out of my plus one and pleased the hell out of me. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It is rollicking but that’s what you would expect from the director of Pirates of the Caribbean. You get a more trenchant critique of our appetite for distraction from Bo Burnham’s “Welcome to the Internet” which is 130 minutes shorter.

The oldest known image of an owl:

More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees

Really enjoyed this @80000hours.bsky.social episode about the evolutionary origins of things like anxiety and depression. Some of each is healthy and useful, but both *none* and too much are quite bad! Some pharmas (or the wrong dosage) might take you there.
