"The way to a sub-10-minute fightless speedrun involves tweaking the game’s graphic settings and using a metronome to execute what’s known as a zip glitch"

The Verge on Elden Ring speedrunners:

Runners turn down Elden Ring’s graphics to their lowest setting to ensure the game outputs a consistent FPS. Then, they turn on a metronome app to 109 beats per minute while in a blocking stance facing the direction they want to go. Players wait four ticks before moving forward and, if the trick is executed with the correct timing (hence the metronome), they’ll shoot across the map.

"More than 30 members of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus and the Boston Symphony Orchestra tested positive for COVID-19 following a performance in Boston"

WBUR:

[She] distinctly remembers seeing her spittle fly across the chorus during the performance. “I saw my own spittle glisten as it shot across my fellow singers,” she said.

...

What bothers [her] and others is that the BSO did not immediately share that a few singers tested positive prior to the concert. Those singers who were found to be positive did not perform.

Strange story about a "self-described billionaire" who is exploiting election rules to run advertisements targeting Elon Musk

Politico on a man who may or may not be seriously running for senator against the Democratic party's wishes:

a self-described billionaire from Santa Barbara, has in recent days reserved nearly $650,000 in TV airtime to run in the state, according to data from ad-tracking services obtained by POLITICO. Separately, three people familiar with [the executive]’s plans ... told POLITICO that it’s just the start of a barrage of ads from [the executive] targeting Musk and Tesla over its self-driving technology. [The executive's company] makes competing software to Tesla’s and [the executive] has publicly derided Musk’s electric vehicles as poor performing and dangerous

...

Running for office entitles him to the lowest available ad rate in the run-up to the election — a perk that could save him considerable money depending on the ultimate spend. But a bigger advantage, two people familiar with his plans said, is the higher degree of first amendment protection a political run could give him for his loaded claims against Tesla.
