Youtube recommendations used to be an amazing way to find new music. Sometimes you even had a little community of people in the comments going from video to video.
Another casualty of enshittification, I guess.
Glad you're feeling better. I got COVID (didn't take a test but pretty sure) for the first time in April. Thankfully it wasn't that bad apart from the worst sore throat I've ever experienced. My fever only lasted a couple days and I was mostly better in a week.
What scared me was that I lost ~90% of my sense of smell for several days. Ironically, I had just started a bit of a perfume habit so I had at least a dozen samples that I could use to "train" my nose.
Now, every so often when I'm smelling a perfume or food or that smell after the rain I remember to be grateful. We really take stuff like that for granted.
My top podcasts lately:
-
QAnon Anonymous: started out chronicling the QAnon freakshow but moved towards more general deep dives into modern and past conspiracy movements
-
Minion Death Cult: laughing at right wing comment sections
-
This Is Revolution: great leftist interview/discussion
-
Joy Tactics: extremely funny stuff
-
Uhh Yeah Dude: one of the longest running podcasts out (13 years) and still funny as hell
I dip into some other podcasts from time to time like Chapo Trap House, Comedy Bang Bang, and Vice's CYBER.
I also listen to some paranormal/weird shows that I can recommend if anyone is interested.
