Jon Bois makes me appreciate things about football, and I cannot stand football. He's a great man.

I watched a video of his about mattresses. It was excellent.

I read this years ago. Nice to see it's still around. I didn't realize we were getting so close to the date where it starts to happen in-story.

This is really neat. Feels like something from the StumbleUpon era, in a good way
