The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe is a podcast about skepticism I listen to religiously every week. They have just written a book, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe: How to Know What's Really Real in a World Increasingly Full of Fake.
"2001: A Space Odyssey"
It looks like 2001: A Space Odyssey is going to be shown in theaters again.
"The Cosmic Web"
I picked up a copy of The Cosmic Web by J. Richard Gott at a museum bookstore, as he was one of the authors of Welcome to the Universe, which I enjoyed reading and studying.

Unlike the common narrative, the entire Apple vs. FBI fight is not about privacy versus security, but actually about security vs. "allow every actor (including bad ones) easier access to what should be secure".
Moving off of Google Apps
I've been a loyal user of Google Apps, a.k.a. Google for Work, for the past few years. The big draw was being able to use email addresses such as ...@chungyc.org, which provided an email address with my own domain. It also gave me the ability to create a new email address for every separate place which asked for an email address which got sent to a single inbox, since I was paranoid about spam and wanted a way to be able to track who leaked my email address to spammers. For a while, using Google Apps worked reasonably well.
