Get 2 Free Months of Kindle Unlimited: Comics, Books, Audiobooks, More
Over the weekend I was enjoying Ori and the Will of the Wisps (free with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate), when I encountered a giant spider boss. This screen-filling arachnid was difficult to hit, and even when I did, I only chipped away a fraction of its health. After dying a few times, I decided to turn off the game to try again later. But now I was trapped in the house and didn’t feel like playing a game. What to do instead? I opened a book.

Amazon Suspends Shipping Of Non-Essential Items Until April
Amazon has notified third-party sellers that it will only continue stocking essential items in its warehouses until April 5, due to demand generated by concerns over the coronavirus, or COVID-19.
Amazon, according to a report by Yahoo Finance, has listed six categories that will qualify for continued stocking at its numerous warehouses, where it fulfils deliveries for third-party sellers on its behalf for a fee. The only items allowed into its warehouses will be baby products, health and household items, beauty and personal care, grocery, industrial and scientific, and pet supplies.
This means that stock for any items outside of those categories cannot be replenished until Amazon lifts the restriction. That doesn’t mean you won’t be able to order anything else right now, but stock will be limited until then. Amazon notes that it is applying this to its first-party products as well.

Morbius Star Jared Leto Only Just Found About Coronavirus Because He Was Meditating In The Desert
For most of us, the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has caused major changes in our lives over the part two weeks. In the entertainment industry, movies and shows are being suspended and delayed, theaters are closing, and celebrities are self-isolating. But there’s one major actor who has somehow been blissfully unaware of all of this–Suicide Squad star Jared Leto.
In a series of tweets, Leto has revealed that he has in fact been on an isolated 12-day desert meditation retreat, and has only just emerged to discover what is happening. “Wow. 12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert,” he wrote. “We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility.”
“Walked out yesterday into a very different world,” Leto continued. “One that’s been changed forever. Mind blowing–to say the least. I’m getting messages from friends and family all around the globe and catching up on what’s going on.”
