A few quality links to make your day:

Here are five artist representations of the story of Jonah and his whale. Please note that these images have been selected for composition, technical execution, and comedic value. Early pandemic humor at its finest. (via)

Weird Al Yankovic’s “Hardware Store” (lyrics) is Expert+ level in Beat Saber. Especially the patter-song bridge.

It’s over two years old, so it doesn’t include playing the Library of Congress’s crystal flute, but this list of Lizzo’s 10 Best Flute Videos is still excellent. (via)

(Because we only deal in quality around here.)

I had not seen these the first time around and deeply appreciate them now, thank you. "Raise your hand if you, like me, believe being consumed by a sea monster is far preferable to Boston's public transportation methods."

[thistleingrey]

Beat Saber is the only game for Oculus that I've enjoyed. Not that I've gotten to play on Eaglet's set very often ...

(Yeah, Eaglet has an Oculus -- they bought it on their own using money from generous grandparents saved up for a couple years.)
