Don't Start Now, Cool, and Levitating are on a hard repeat for me right now.

I get sort of Kacey Musgraves vibes from this, if that helps you get an idea of if you want to listen to this or not.

Only omission is that they didn't mention Inoreader, my favorite web reader and sync service. ![](https://birchtree.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/birchbark/2020-04-03/gates.png) [Bill Gates: Here’s how to make up for lost time on covid-19](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/bill-gates-heres-how-to-make-up-for-lost-time-on-covid-19/2020/03/31/ab5c3cf2-738c-11ea-85cb-8670579b863d%5Fstory.html?ref=birchtree.me) I love hearing (reading) everything Bill Gates has to say these days. He's incredibly sharp, and communicates extremely well. Oh, and the advice in here is good too! ![](https://birchtree.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/birchbark/generic_link.png) [I can't stop watching this video](https://twitter.com/karenyhan/status/1243180807029694465?s=12&ref=birchtree.me) This dad is a good sport. ![](https://birchtree.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/birchbark/2020-04-03/tv.png) [The worst episodes of every TV show](https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/fqqzki/worst%5Fepisode%5Fever%5Fthe%5Fmost%5Fcommonly%5Frated%5Fshows/?ref=birchtree.me) This graph of IMDB ratings for tons of TV shows is fascinating. The Game of Thrones one is particularly distinctive.
