    So my cats always sit on my laptop I use for youtubes when I’m trying to sleep. It’s frustrating. I’ve started to listen to podcasts instead as I can set a sleep timer on the phone.

    Does anyone know of any sleep inducing factual kind of podcasts to send me to sleep? I currently use useless information and isaac arthur, but if there are any cat info ones that would be amazing as I’d only been going to sleep to cat info youtubes.

    In other news, it’s been a lazyish day but I filed my tax return and did some other paperwork and life admin stuff that I’ve been waiting for the right time to do and now is the right time. Also back into playing minecraft and moved the music mixer which a lengthy task and the cats spend too much time on it and I often have to move them off it or one of them sleeps on it. Some more cables and joiners so the synth oututs reach it I’m about to ebay and hopefully that finishes the new setup for good. Cats now have a new comfortable place to sleep which is right beside my desk so that’s a win. Kitten already napping on it.

    Damn, photo is not working; json error. Who is Json?

    Edit: Photo now working

    Image is of a large black kitten with shiny fur asleep on a brown blanket which is on a desk.

        Poor son of J. Lost in battle, sent out to sea. Arrows drawn, departing towards a dream.

        The ignited arrow missed! “Fuck do we have another one”? The viking funeral, Json was never well done.

        Or McJ if you’re Scots, or O’J if you’re Irish. J Jr if American. What would the German be?

      Who is Json

      JSON is short for “JavaScript Object Notation”. It’s a human-readable data format used by computers.

      I was certain you were referring to the famous Melbourne graffiti, but the other responses have me questioning this, and then I questioned whether they were just continuing the joke, and then my brain died.

        any ideas for a semi interesting non fiction podcast to send me to sleep or is that a stretch at this time?

          nothing cat related, but “something rhymes with purple”, “ologies”, “strong songs”, “the long read (the guardian)” or my personal sleep favourite, “takeaway trivia”.

            Thanks heaps!! That’ll be enough I’m sure to keep up some variety without spending minutes looking for unplaid episodes.

      The mythical person who roams Russell St, who everyone is searching for - “You Json?!”
