These are a couple videos of a raven named Odin (of course) at the Tropical Butterfly House in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, producing abstract paintings, using her beak to pick up and use a brush. Admittedly, I wouldn’t mind having an Odin original hanging in my home. “That was painted

This is a clip of Italian beatboxing champion Azel demonstrating his skills with some otherworldly sounds coming out of his mouth. Wow, I can hear why he’s a champion. Still, not to toot my own horn in an article that’s supposed to be about someone else, but I’m just as

This is a video of Red Bull skydiver Maja Kuczynska’s 2023 Indoor Skydiving Championship performance. The moves she makes in that tube — they’re unreal. It’s almost like the zero-gravity dance scene in Ready Player One. That is some serious mind and body control. For reference, nine times out of

This is a very appropriate sounding bardcore cover of REM’s 1991 banger ‘Losing My Religion’, performed by Algal The Bard (previously). The bardcore version works very well, and if I were listening to this in a medieval tavern I wouldn’t hesitate to toss a silver coin into Algal’s lute case,
