I am afraid that readers today are not willing to jump from one hyperlink to another.
This only could be called a good practice when readers is in their spirit of open-minded exploration mood. If I’m being lazy, I’ll probably skip the whole text if the main subject you are talking about is hidden behind a blue, underlined single word - I do not know what’s coming after clicking the word so you are forcing me to click (Just like this This at the beginning).

Globally, there are more than 7,000 data centers built or in various stages of development, up from 3,600 in 2015.
These data centers have the capacity to consume a combined 508 terawatt hours of electricity per year if they were to run constantly. That’s greater than the total annual electricity production for Italy or Australia.
By 2034, global energy consumption by data centers is expected to top 1,580 TWh, about as much as is used by all of India.

TV Series: Dark Matter Season 1 (2024)
Great casting (shout out to Jimmi Simpson)! Getting more into it only after E07. It does have more realistic side compared to other multiverse stories, although some might say this makes it less hard-core.

Movie: Conann (2023)
Had my SMILE surgery just a few weeks ago and am now dragged to the cinema to enjoy a visual bullying. It’s beautiful, theatrical, not as cult as I expected, and philosophical - I’d killed the younger self every ten years.
Movie: 波紋 (2023)
My empathy probably arises from the various middle-aged dramas in real life, whether from gossip or what I have witnessed - unsuccessful marriages, menopause, religion (or anything similar to it), …, which made me barely laugh at the water-worshipping scenes because it is so TRUE they seek mental support from any possible way. It’s not about the freaking water but the forming of a community and someone (the master, the sensi, the 大师) pretending to care.

TV Series: Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2024)
Great setting and script. The couple is giving me The Good Fight Marissa and Jay vibe, and dramatic in a different way. It’s like a U-turn starting from E06 and a cliche ending we see on Killing Eve.
By the way, I really love the intro logo animation designed by FutureDeluxe, the sound of this opener designed by Zelig Sound, and the new branding of Prime Video designed by Pentagram, so satisfying and clean.

I strongly recommend Do the Work by Steven Pressfield to anyone who has many thoughts but only keeps them in a secret list, and then forgets the list.
Potis.ai wants to help recruiters test candidates’ real skills. So more text-based case prompts and longer answers, less SHL and VI screening probably. 魔法打败魔法, use another gen-AI to generate AI-less contents and again feed it back to a third gen-AI. How much nonsense content are we gonna have in this foreseeable future?

Album: Serenade by Sunwoojunga
Can you find another all-rounder like Sunwoojunga? A stunning full-length 정규 album shows off her ability from every perspective. “Interview” sets up a cosy but also mixed mood. “Run With Me” soaks everyone in the Korean sentiment with powerful, empathetic strings and vocals.
“Serenade” tells stories wittily and “Multi Player” joins smoothly, starting a much loosen atmosphere which continues to the end. To some extent, the appealing of consistency inevitably leads to similarity until “Superhero” cracks everything open and gives space for lights to come in. The second half of the album is much more dynamic, such as the quirky and experimental “My Birthday Song” as a great example of using synthesisers.
Listeners could sharply grasp the emotions Sunwoojunga would like to convey through her unique and solid vocal skills. Get astonished by “Run With Me” then step by step, track by track, enjoy the singing freedom with her and hold a parade in “Life” and “Invisible Treasure”.
“To Zero” resets everything and “Classic” keeps the pop music form but stylish in every way, signing her name proudly on the album with this brutal end.
Lyrics are so important in this album since Sunwoojunga often starts her creation by writing first. Though for non-Korean speakers it may be difficult to understand the delicate meanings in lyrics, it is also quite interesting to first speculate everything only based on rhythms, melodies and scattered English, and then to check the translation to see whether new ideas were generated. Just try to find some time and listen to it non-stop as if you were wandering around in the amusement park with the artist.
Album: Long Blue Light by Leif Vollebekk
“Long Blue Light” could be in one of your relax playlists, just to sit back and unbend yourself. Great at conveying solitude and casualness with light lyricsim and the end falling apart. It could also be in your road playlist since it is easy to sing along.
“29 #Strafford APTS”, a Bon Iver cover, is much like a statement or a memoir of the artist’s teen age. Instruments are beautifully knited. It is much subtle and melodic with refurbished overdubs if comparison between cover and the original is necessary. But to me it is more like a different flank of a hill, this one tracing back the history but looking forward to a mist-lifted future.
Album: Ambient 1: Music for Airports by Brian Eno
Ahead of its era, “Ambient 1: Music for Airports” does far more than staying in the background of a futuristic airport but for everyone to attach emotions and make the most of it. “1/1” is filled with zen fermatas, carrying notes like waterdrops, doing everything but also nothing to empty your mind. Repetitions might be dreary or tedious for some people, but there are differences in the background to be detected and understood if trying to immerse oneself in. “1/1” is also the most suitable and functional one among the four tracks.
“2/1” unfolds with generous and expansive vocals. Sunlight, but rather intensified, tranquil and remote. It waits and remains, saves time for you to walk into it, to take a sunbath, on your own initiative. Then “1/2” comes in as the stopover to see the piano and vocals blending with each other in detail.
You may get lost in the ambitious synthesiser sounds of “2/2”. It scales up quite suddenly. Even though the former track lasts more than 10 minutes, not much connecting and digesting job has been done. However, concerns could be eased when it plays to the middle, especially for listeners willing to swing with the inner flow, grasping the opportunities to discover layers and depths.
The importance of this album is effortlessly being told by “1/1” standing alone, while “1/2” tells stories of vocal use, frequency and the blanks in between. Both of them are easy to adapt and drift away. “2/1” and “2/2” may be less graspable generally but still have their narrative.
