Q for You
Sleep Baseball
👀 Sponsor this spot to share your product or resource with our community.
It’s Monday.
Put up an away message, imagine you’re napping on your granddad’s “retro gauche” sofa on a spring afternoon, and listen to a radio broadcast of a fake baseball game.
Sleep Baseball removes the loud commercials, hey-batta-battas, and everything else that ruins the ASMR of baseball radio. It could not be more boring. You’re so welcome.

Slide into Reebok’s DMs
Reebok’s clever new AI campaign encourages users to DM the brand on Instagram with a photo of their favorite memory.
A chatbot will then craft a custom shoe inspired by the color palette and style, with the original photo inlaid into the sole.
Users can tweak the design, share on social, or purchase the file for use in Roblox and Fortnite.
It’s new tech, but it feels a little like a browser game from the 2000s. By that we mean: it’s extremely cool.
