Literature Clock:

This has quotes for every minute of every day, so that whenever you click, you will find an appropriate snippet.  I have not looked at it for literally all the 24 hours so I don't know (1) how repetitive it gets - I imagine that some is inevitable and (2) it must draw almost entirely from European / Western literature.

But it's fun while it's new-to-you.

That's wonderful! It seems to do time zones properly, too.

That is indeed clever!  I hadn't thought to notice that.

Every two weeks or so I look for a new video from Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration https://baumgartnerfineartrestoration.com

Julian Baumgartner takes a work that needs work, almost never from any big name in painting, and carries you through the whole process.  He has great screen presence and screen voice.  If you don't quickly learn what washikozo is or an "isolating layer," and why he hates staples and urethane, you haven't watched enough.  Many, many videos.
