@hankgreen.bsky.social could you do a video about the Calhoun mouse experiment where overcrowding led to societal collapse? It’s freaking everywhere on my social media feeds and doesn’t seem to be anything but a right wing attempt to demonize cities.
I would love to get a better opinion on this.

I’m looking for a new car. I’d like a sporty two door, two seater, but I’d like to have a space behind the front seats for a small dog. A convertible top would be a bonus.
Any recommendations?

I've been getting a weekly text from a coffee shop with discounts and deals. My problem is that I have no idea where this coffee shop is. Their name is very common, and I know of at least three in various states I visit. Without a map or link to their website, I'm kind of at a loss.

If you think Tonga isn’t a threat, you must have not watched a lot of WWF in the late 80s early 90s. Haku was a real menace!

Heartfelt message to all of those sweater repair video makers who show us how to perfectly mend holes and loose threads with knitting needles and knitting techniques:
Fuck off with your magic.

Waste Management's website does a terrible job of helping users understand when their next pickup will be after a holiday.
It also doesn't have any facility to modify service options. Somehow, I've been signed up for yard waste disposal for years, but I certainly never received a bin for that.

Hagerty and Jason Cammisa put out a new video comparing the fastest Corvette, Mustang, and Porsche GT3 RS models at the Sonoma Raceway. Specwise, these cars are all within spitting distance of the new Toyota GR GT.

It's such a weird world we live in. Safety, trust, and belonging, we are told, emerge from more contact and interaction with others, building familiarity and connection. But when it comes down to brass tacks, separation and exclusion seem to be the way people maintain their bubbles today.
Finally, a local gym that feels more like waiting on the TSA line. Let's talk about the tubes.

Finally some positive developments in this horrifying story from Rhode Island.
Col. Oscar Perez, chief of the Providence police, confirmed at a news conference that the detained person was in their 30s and that authorities are not currently searching for anyone else. He declined to say where the person was arrested and whether the person was connected to the university.

Are these NBA cups increasing ticket sales and television viewership? It all feels very contrived, but maybe that's just because it's early in the implementation of this format.

I know John Cena’s farewell tour ends today, but let’s be serious here for a minute. He retired years ago and was dragged back into this for no good reason.
If these guys want to come back and soak up some adoration, fine. But let’s not pretend that THIS is the time they’re actually going away.
