Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. Yesterday I finished reading A History of Loneliness by John Boyne. A sad and thoughtful book that follows the life of a priest from his childhood in 1960s Ireland to the present day. It’s very good — A History of Loneliness

2. A clever attempt at stopping many of the daft lawsuits aimed at songwriters. Who knows whether it’ll hold up in court! — Musicians Algorithmically Generate Every Possible Melody, Release Them to Public Domain

3. This a lovely story. The internet can be a wonderful place at times — Callum Manning: Online surge of support for bullied book lover

4. What colour are the balls? — Ball colour Illusion

5. I discover so much great music by watching NPR’s Tiny Desk concerts. Here’s my latest discovery: Jordan Rakei on Tiny Desk

1. How big are asteroids? Far bigger than I imagined! — Asteroid sizes vs New York

2. If you visit York, here are a few foodie recommendations: Skosh (you won’t regret it), Partisan, Phranakhon. Not recommendations of the edible variety but the National Railway Museum and York Minster are both excellent. Go to York, you'll love it!

3. I relate to all of this. I like to have at least one fiction and a non-fiction on the go, maybe an audiobook too. — On reading more than one book at a time

4. An interesting overview of how global populations may change in the next 30 years or so — A 2020 Overview of Global Population Trends

1. People listen to happier music in summer and sadder music in winter (except at Christmas time), which isn't really surprising. What is surprising, is that Australia and New Zealand follow the same trend as the countries in the Northern Hemisphere despite having the opposite weather. Very interesting! — Data from Spotify suggest that listeners are gloomiest in February / Rob Wiblin's summary

2. Writer and comedian Demi Adejuyigbe has made a series of Bojack Horseman-themed posters to celebrate the end of the series for this year’s Oscars. I particularly like the one for Once Upon A Time In Hollywoo (that isn't a typo!) — Bojack Oscar Posters

3. If you haven't seen 1917, I'd recommend you see it whilst it's still in cinemas. It's one of those films that's made for the big screen*.* If you have seen it, this video gives a nice glimpse of the VFX wizardry that made the film possible — How '1917' Was Filmed To Look Like One Shot

4. Very cool — The Stepping Feet Illusion

5. I didn't really know anything about Nike or their co-founder Phil Knight but this was an excellent autobiography. I bought the audiobook ages ago and I'm glad I finally got around to listening to it! — Shoe Dog, A Memoir by the Creator of Nike

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

1. I finally got around to watching the HBO miniseries Chernobyl. The whole thing was excellent, the perfect series. If it wasn't so harrowing I'd be up for watching it again! The accompanying podcast series was also very good. If you've watched the series definitely have a listen — Chernobyl (series) / The Chernobyl Podcast

2. Elise Trouw's live looping covers are so good. Isn't it annoying how talented some people are? — Radiohead Meets The Police - Live Looping Mashup by Elise Trouw

3. Another great iOS game from Zach Gage — Early iPhone hit SpellTower gets reimagined a decade later

4. An interesting Twitter thread on problems arising from the use of VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in football matches — Daisy Christodoulou on VAR

5. Interesting fact: "Each year, about 15% of queries on Google have never been searched for before" — Facts from The Browser
