Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II
Marc WeidenbaumZoë Blade@DarioSterzi Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works Volume II, track 3, dubbed by a fan as [Rhubarb]. I’ve seen a video where someone explains “why it sounds utterly hopeless”, but I find it calm and relaxing. It’s what I listen to most when I need to relieve anxiety.

Lupin
Maurice LeBlancZoë Blade@fochti @KakakTuluk I like how, in 1906, Maurice Leblanc wrote a short story starring his character Arsène Lupin that had Sherlock Holmes as his nemesis, basically fanfiction. Arthur Conan Doyle put a stop to that, so he legally had to change the character's name, which he did... to Herlock Sholmes.
