Is that Matt fucking Parker?

I worked with him last year for Pi Day and I can confirm he’s legit as nice in person as he is on camera. Also he never swears, unlike James Grime who’s a hilarious potty mouth :D

I haven’t watched a Numberphile video in a while, probably not since the lockdowns. I have to say, James Grime doesn’t give that impression at all. Something about James “singing banana” Grime being a hilarious potty mouth is in itself very funny to me.

I actually love that James swears like a soldier. Don’t know why exactly.

Thinking about it, I would be equally happy to learn Matt swears and James doesn’t. Must be something about the ‘insider’ information!

I love Matt but it was very confusing seeing him peeking out of my memes

Matt Parker is a YouTuber who teaches about cool math shit. He is here instead of Drake because Drake is a hunk of human shit.

Is that actually Matt Parker though? Strikingly similar, but the first picture looks off and I’ve never seen him with facial hair.

Oh, I had no idea Goodreads was owned by Amazon. Thanks! I’ll definitely make a switch.

Movies: Letterboxd

TV Shows: Serializd

For books, I too use Storygraph. But I might switch to Hardcover later. I have been using Storygraph for like 3 years and in that time nothing really changed, improved there in my opinion. Socialization is almost non-existent. They still don’t have “profile” pages for authors. If you click on an author, all of their books are just thrown in there together in one place. No filters, no picture of the author, nothing.

Hardcover looks interesting, it’s a bit like letterboxd, that’s why I like it. App is a little bit slow and I wish more people used it because there is not a lot of reviews and ratings for books. So if you want an alternative to goodreads, which has a lot of users, then storygraph is probably the only option.

I love letterbox, but not really a replacement for IMDB.

I’ve been using tv time to track tv shows, but haven’t really been a fan. Definitely going to check out serializd.

I used to use Hardcover but stopped after realizing they use AI-generated art on their platform.

I’ve used trakd for a number of years with no major complaints. Its cools being able to look up an actor and see the “seen in” section, as I have it set up to automatically track my watches in jellyfin/IINA and then I manually enter the ones I watch on streaming services
