7 Things This Week [#173]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ I did not know about these keyboard shortcuts in YouTube to step forward and backward by one frame. 🔗 support.google.com (Via John Gruber)
2️⃣ I very much appreciated this piece that Sarah Jeong wrote in response to criticism about the headline that she wrote as editor for The Verge’s piece on Trump’s illegal firing of Democratic FTC commissioners. She explained how and why she wrote the original headline, and conceded that she got it wrong. 🔗 theverge.com
3️⃣ Robb Knight created the crossover event the world needed. 🧡 🔗 wellness.rknight.me
4️⃣ Conan O’Brien nails it in his acceptance speech for the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. ▶️ youtube.com
5️⃣ Apple TV+ did a blue balloon installation in London to celebrate the season 2 finale of Severance and I love it. They’ve really pulled out all of the marketing stops for this show. (Hopefully more shows will start to get this kind of treatment too!) ▶️ youtube.com
6️⃣ Jason Snell flips the ad-free vs. ad-supported Netflix tier question on its head. Instead of how much can I save by watching ads? he asks, how much would Netflix have to pay me to watch their ads?. 🔗 sixcolors.com
7️⃣ Some genuinely surprising and good news out of Wisconsin: Liberal-leaning Susan Crawford won their Supreme Court seat despite Elon Musk pouring money in to help her opponent, Brad Schimel. Schimel encouraged his supporters to accept the results. 👩⚖️ wpr.org
