Super brief Goodies update today. With [new Kanye West music](https://soundcloud.com/kanyewest?ref=birchtree.me), Tim Cook talking about [the future of cars](http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/19/9572623/apple-car-tim-cook-interview?ref=birchtree.me), and a new Star Wars trailer, I’m otherwise occupied at the moment.

I always put my favorite video of the week here, something that I think you may not have seen. I could put some other video here, but let’s be honest, this gives you an excuse to watch this awesome trailer one more time.

> What really happens on Twitter these days? People have self-sorted into cliques, little in-groups, tribes. The purpose of tribes is to defend their beliefs, their ways, their customs, their culture — their ways of seeing the world. The digital world is separated into “ists” — it doesn’t matter what, really, economists, mens-rightists, leftists, rightists — and those “ists” place their “ism” before and above all, because it is their organizing belief, the very faith that has brought them together in the first place.

> The information gathered from the Hopkins study will help researchers design and launch an app specifically for people suffering from epilepsy, Krauss said. That will give those with epilepsy a way to notify their loved ones automatically when they've had a seizure and to help individuals track the condition and, with luck, make it easier to manage.

> Today I learned that it’s possible to directly connect an iPhone to an iPad via a Lightning cable. To create a dual-sided Lightning cable, just take a regular Lightning cable and connect the USB end to a Lightning to USB Camera adapter. This, in essence, creates a Lightning to Lightning cable that can be used to directly connect an iPhone to an iPad.
