Time to relax!

  • “Harry saw Harry’s glasses. He took handfuls at the foot of the tree, and then walked forward, underneath its glass and beckoned to do something before he changed his wand. Harry had started face-to-face with her late, and then a sudden Death Eaters fed and Madame Maxime, but was left, not sporting red, white. Confused? No, this is not a badly written paragraph from an unreleased book of Harry Potter. Nor has it been taken from any fan theory website. This is an excerpt from a chapter written by a deep learning algorithm developed by Max Deutsch.” – An Algorithm Wrote Five Hilarious Chapters Of Harry Potter
  • After six seasons and 60 episodes, the world of Game of Thrones might seem impenetrable at this point to HBO viewers who aren’t already on board with the series. Thankfully, for those searching for an entry point into Westeros, Game of Thrones has provided a new beginner’s guide to the show narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. The actor doesn’t appear on Game of Thrones but happily lends his trademark expletive enunciation to recap the series up to “Is Jon Snow dead?” – Watch Samuel L. Jackson’s Hilarious ‘Game of Thrones’ Recap
  • “I opened the bottle and took a gentle sniff. Here’s a pro tip: Don’t do that. Not even gently. Lightly waft it just the way you were taught in high school chem, because smelling it even a little is like a dose of sulfur straight to your sinuses, although less brimstone and more menthol, like an adorable family-owned apothecary at the fiery gates of hell.” – I took a weed bath and I kind of freaked out
  • “Nelson says he has a ‘love/hate relationship with those videos. They’re perfect for lighting a spark in people to cook! But, anyone can open a can of biscuits and melt cheese on them … I wanted to try something I didn’t think people really did on the web. So I told myself ‘no music beds.’ I wanted the Natural Sound to help drive the video. Something people can maybe learn a little something from, but, more importantly, something that just looked and sounded good.’” – These Extremely Soothing Cooking Videos Are All About Silence
  • “…one of Europe’s most eminent neuroscientists has devised a simple, four-point plan for channelling stress and turning it to one’s advantage. Professor Ian Robertson’s “four-step brain hack to harness stress” is, he insists, based on scientific research beginning with step one: tell yourself you are excited rather than stressed.” – Forget relaxing – use your stress to become a high achiever
