| NETFLIX TESTS A TIKTOK-STYLE FEED FOR KIDS This week, Netflix's iOS app is starting a test of a new feed for kids that's designed to show short clips taken from its library of children's content, Bloomberg News reports. The "Kids Clips" feature uses a similar interface to TikTok or Instagram Reels in an attempt to surface child-friendly content. But while competing services are primarily formatted for viewing in portrait, Kids Clips' videos are designed to be viewed in landscape.

Aided by e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Shopify, this model has sprung from the interwoven, complex network of material suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and sellers to affect nearly every American who shops online.

[Partner] | | AN INTERVIEW WITH A RUNNER WHO GOT WAY TOO HIGH AT THE NEW YORK CITY MARATHON The phrase "a runner's high" is not usually meant to be taken literally. But to one runner participating in Sunday's New York City Marathon, that feeling became a bit too real. This man, who we are keeping anonymous, is a creative professional in his 40s; in addition to being a daily marijuana user, he's also a near-daily runner. And while he will often eat an edible before taking off on a solo trek, he went into this year's marathon with an unusual plan: Once he hit the 59th Street Bridge at mile 16, the cinematic part of the race that goes from Queens to Manhattan over the East River, he was going to down a weed gummy. He was hoping for additional mind/body expansion, but unfortunately, the plan backfired, and he got way too high. Vice | | NEED ANYTHING FROM THE GROCERY STORE? STAY HOME. We get it: Not everyone is down with Instacart — and for plenty of good reasons. But that doesn't mean you have to deal with going shopping for groceries yourself. Before on-demand delivery apps got cool (and then kinda horrifying), there was FreshDirect. The online grocer offers top-quality produce, meat, seafood, bakery items, coffee, meal kits, prepared food, catering, everyday paper goods, and more, including alcohol. Go for the big brands or focus on local farms and purveyors plus pick up some hard-to-find gourmet items. Oh, and you can totally order your entire Thanksgiving meal from them, too. In major markets, you can score a delivery time within 24 hours of ordering, and you can even set up a recurring timeslot to help you remember to get that oat milk you need. Right now, you'll get $50 off your first order of $99 or more with code FRESH8. FreshDirect | | ANCIENT PENIS WORMS PIONEERED THE HERMIT CRAB LIFESTYLE It's a good thing animals don't know the names we give them … especially the poor "penis worm." After all, they might argue they were here 530 million years before us and our genitalia. Now it turns out penis worms weren't just hanging around in the sea looking phallic-like; they came up with a method for avoiding predators since made famous by hermit crabs. IFLScience | |
