- Sometimes it can be rough dealing with a haunted computer, especially if you don’t even know your computer is haunted. It’s important to know the signs.
- Best practices for keeping your phone battery healthy seem to change about as often as diet fads.
- So many of the objections to just giving money to people in poverty fall completely flat.
- This Week in Free Movies: stream 175 more Paramount features from days gone by.

- One church advertized its showing of Inside Out with a poster touting In & Out, which is a very different movie that should actually still be fun for the whole family. Without having seen the film in at least ten years, I’d have to borrow a phrase from some Southern friends to remember In & Out: bless its heart, it tried. It might be interesting to take a look at how some of those 90’s gay movies hold up, actually — let me know if you want a podcast product about this.
- Starcher Trek is the Archer/Star Trek: The Animated Series mashup I never knew I needed in my life.
- One person ranks every Netflix original show, which of course means that no single other person will agree. I haven’t seen a lot of the shows, but I’d insist on pushing Jessica Jones to the top; Grace and Frankie is rather underrated too.
