Ask any vinyl enthusiast and they’ll tell you that half the fun of vinyl is the process. It starts with the tangibility factor, physically taking the record out of the sleeve, placing it on the turntable and then settling in as your favorite tune fills the room. It is an experience that’s unmatched. But just because this process is beloved, doesn’t mean it can’t be modernized in a way that makes sense for this decade—finding a way to merge the past with the present in a satisfying way. For this reason, Sony’s PS-LX310BT Bluetooth Record Player shines.

The Viral Book That Will Delight Everyone On Your Shopping List /
If you’re a heavy user of Instagram or Twitter, then you’ve most likely seen them before. Two little blue aliens sit comfortably between the gutters of a four-panel comic grid, getting into all kinds of familiar situations. They’re sort of crudely drawn, but therein lies part of the appeal. The two creatures find themselves recounting the mysteries of daily human life, with often hilarious — and, well, (somewhat) human — insight.
We’re talking about Nathan W. Pyle’s Strange Planet, the beloved comic series that went majorly viral this year. The New York Times bestselling author launched the series on Instagram back in February 2019, and since that time the Strange Planet Instagram account has garnered over 4.7 million followers at the time of this writing. Each comic typically consists of that simple four-panel grid, but instead of saving the punchline for the final panel, much of the humor of the comic comes from the way that Pyle plays with language and the idiosyncrasies of modern life. Each bit of dialogue is expertly crafted to strip away the subtext normally associated with the English language. And each comic is delightful in its weirdness, often resulting in outcomes that are equally hilarious and relatable.
