Agree with Extra en español. They're all on YouTube.

I have also watched a lot of 31 Minutos on YouTube, it's kind of like Muppets meet The Daily Show? It's aimed at kids but it's entertaining and there is a lot of repetition so it works even if I don't catch everything they say.

If you're ok with video blog stuff, I love dreamingspanish.com. lots of different regions/accents and a ton of content. I started with the intermediate level, 20-part history of Spain and enjoyed it so much that I started subscribing. But there is a ton of free content too. I've been listening pretty consistently for the past year and can definitely tell that I've improved.

And now the PS5 doesn't even have a(n easily accessible) web browser.

A friend of mine is a non-native English speaker. He teaches at an elementary school and works with 'English as a second language' students. He casually mentioned that he always tells his students to take a 'horse bath' in the bathroom sink after recess if needed. He was traumatized when I told him that he'd misheard that phrase for his entire adult life.

I really noticed my Spanish improved after watching videos on Dreaming Spanish link

That was exactly my point with the linked xkcd too. Not sure how they interpreted that as being in support of their post.

Ugh, Cincinnati just voted to sell the last municipality owned rail line to Norfolk Southern. I agree with you completely.

It has utility = it has use

To consume = to use

You can use https://www.photopea.com/

I don't know if they have an app, but it's worked fine in-browser for me.
