Random Obsession

Does anyone else follow a really random show?

I've been obsessed with a reality television show for YEARS now. Big Brother is a show that puts 16 adults into a house cut off from the outside world. There are twists and turns, secret alliances, and crazy competitions. One person is evicted every week, ending in one person winning half a million dollars.

If it's not cancelled due to Covid, this season will mark the 22nd season. I have seen an embarrassing number of these seasons, but sometimes life got in the way. The I ended up adding CBS All Access to my Prime Membership and now I have access to every single season.

I absolutely love this show, but it is probably the only reality competition that I have followed and it does not seem like something I would be obsessed with. My friends laugh at me about it, but I don't care. I love it!

Anyone else have a show like that?

Favorite Places - Lucky Goat Coffee - Tallahassee, FL

This place has only been working its way into my list of favorite places. I've lived in Tallahassee for about 2 years and its my go to place when I want a good cup of coffee or to get out of the apt and study or do work.

I guess it was last summer, but I went in for a coffee and decided I wanted something sweet, so I got a brownie. My life was changed forever, LOL, this was one of the best brownies I have ever eaten. It was fudgy, it was chocolaty, I think the cold brew was in there like chocolate chips. I went back every single day for like a week and ha half before I made myself stop. I like the Midtown location and I would also recommend the pistachio muffin, but that brownie.... Here is the link to their website: https://luckygoatcoffee.com/

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 4

Chapter 5 focuses on Twitter. Originally the creators of Twitter were striving to create a utility. A piece of information infrastructure that was an everyday and unnoticeable part of our lives, like electricity or phones. Van Dijck says that this created a paradox in that is "presumes Twitter to be a neutral platform upon which users freely interact, much like the Web itself...indifferent to the contents they exchange" but that "the streams of data are engineered to promote certain uses and users over time" (p.69). Van Dijck says this paradox of "enabling connectedness while engineering connectivity" and "propagating neutrality while securing profitability" show up in every aspect of the platform. This is kind of a trend in all social media platforms as the start out about the user, but need to pay the bills... The Twitter platform has has some pivotal contributions to the culture of connectivity (culture influence tech while tech influences cul...
