How the Rhymes of Dr. Seuss Helped Teach Us Language
Kaptain Kristian’s latest explainer video is a fun one: he explains how the anapestic tetrameter rhyming style of Dr. Seuss helped us better understand language as kids, all while rhyming in the video himself. It’s stupid catchy (obviously, because it’s done in the style of Dr. Seuss) and so easy to listen to, which is the point because that catchiness and fun is basically a trick Dr. Seuss books used to make us all want to read on our own.

On one hand, I want to upvote for the story and the person who brought it to me. On the other, I want to downvote because I don't like it. I do get the point of the voting, but still a paradox in my mind.
Kind of like "Like" on Facebook for something sad.

Woman Dragged Off Flight By Police For Blowing Through Gate Personnel To Board Early
To an airline, no one is special. Even the first class jamokes. You all line up like the cattle you are at your assigned boarding time, or you don’t get to leave. One woman on a recent Delta flight thought she was above such petty attempts to instill order in the boarding process and got on the plane early, prompting police to literally drag her off the flight.

Spectral Is a Scifi Action Film That's Too Obsessed With Its Own Cool Premise
“The less you know, the better.” It’s a common phrase used in all walks of life, and it applies perfectly to Nic Mathieu’s Spectral. This high-tech scifi film was originally planned as a theatrical release but has since been relegated to Netflix, possibly because it’s a movie based on a great idea that overshadows everything that could’ve made it great.
