Becoming The Media - Watching Facebook try and figure out how to be a media company is pretty hilarious. They tried swallowing up the entire discourse of modern society without a single thought. It turns out there's more to being the media than chasing the ad buy checks.

Signing Prince - Though I doubt that anyone needed to help him become a superstar, Prince's early manager was blown away when he found out that a demo was recorded entirely by one guy, and that he was only 18. Noisey has an excerpt from a new book detailing the story.

Edutainment With More Stabbing - Polygon takes a run through Assassin’s Creed Origins with experts in Egyptology at Chicago’s Field Museum.

Sweating Out The BS - Something that shouldn't surprise anyone who paid attention in biology classes, it turns out that a sauna doesn't remove toxins. If you're into relaxing by sweating, that's fine, but the health benefits are scant.

Halfway to Neuromancer - If you read any Cyberpunk, you remember when authors imagined the Internet as a physical space, the idea of a VR browser should get a chuckle.
