Bug bite suction tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my ongoing war with mosquitoes, I’ve been trying different ways to relieve the itching caused by these tiny beasts’ bites. The Bug Bite Thing<\/a> is extremely effective, provided you use it right after noticing a mosquito bite. It’s a suction tool that extracts the itch-causing mosquito saliva from your skin, providing instant relief. However, avoid using it on your face or neck unless you want a circular hickey. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Readwise RSS reader<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using the new\u00a0Readwise Reader<\/a>\u00a0as a repository for all my digital highlights. As an added bonus for users, there is a\u00a0Weekly Wisereads newsletter<\/a>\u00a0that gives me the most highlighted content across the internet. That goes beyond just articles and includes the most highlighted YouTube video, Twitter thread, PDF or handpicked RSS feeds. The newsletter has also been gifting away free EPUBS by notable authors to add to your Reader. I\u2019m\u00a0an avid user<\/a>\u00a0of my Readwise highlighting app, so I really appreciate reading what everyone else is highlighting and reflecting on. \u2014 CD\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science fiction realism<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new movie The Creator<\/a> posits a future war between humans and AI robots, but unlike previous Hollywood science fiction, it wants you to cheer for the AIs and robots. The Creator has the most daring and innovative sci-fi cinematography since the original Blade Runner, a deep blend of real and could-be. It might set a new standard for sci-fi style. For its visual pleasure alone, I found it worth seeing it on a big screen in a theater. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancel free trials immediately<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anytime you accept a free trial subscription for a smartphone app, cancel it immediately. You will still be able to use the app until the trial ends, and you won’t get charged if you decide you don’t like it but forget to cancel it before the trial expires. Here’s how to cancel a subscription from Apple<\/a>, and from Google<\/a>. \u2014 MF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stained Glass Smash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m having fun playing with Stained Glass Smash<\/a> at glass.funwebsite.fun. You just click the screen to smash the glass and haphazardly create geometric works of art. It\u2019s creative and easy, and it\u2019s a soothing distraction. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
