Just saw Sennheiser released the Momentum 5. Looked at some early reviews but I need someone to test how it is for those of us with ANC sickness! I haven’t found a decent pair of modern headphones that don’t make me sick when ANC is turned on.

TIL about this great project. They have chapters here in Vancouver as well as the Okanagan and many other places. Look at their map of clinics and the next time you #travel please consider taking a bag. There are special policies for humanitarian baggage. 🧳 https://njt.net

Philosophers ranked by their punk credentials: I would put the Buddha a bit higher on the scale since his critique of the caste system, and the workaround he created for people to escape it, was revolutionary 🪷✊🧘👨‍🎤 #punk #philosophy #buddhism
