Friday Links!

This is just utterly wonderful: My Common App Essay: "Every School Reading This Except Dartmouth Sucks Ass"

Leading off, from Steven Davis, a seasonally appropriate and fantastic link: These Artists Are Carving Incredibly Detailed, Art-Historical Pumpkins.

From Wally, and this is interesting: This Artist Sorted Famous Characters By Color And Here’s What She Found Out. These are very, very funny: These Brazilian Candy Ads Are Undeniably Dark Yet Surprisingly Entertaining. This is both informative and strangely mesmerizing: Spinning a Lego Wheel FASTER. This is so goofy and very clever: Best ALIEN Remake I have ever seen!

Excellent links from C. Lee, as always. First, a unique study: Cats v. Rats? In New York, the Rats Win. This is terrifying: What the tests don’t show Doctors are surprisingly bad at reading lab results. It’s putting us all at risk. Some of these are amazing: Good Design Awards go beyond industrial design (in particular, these). This is pretty fantastic: How a bench and a team of grandmothers can tackle depression.

This is also from C. Lee, but I'm giving it it's own frame because it's a story of an utterly fearless, courageous man: The Japanese Man Who Saved 6,000 Jews With His Handwriting.

From Scott Sanders, and this is a beautiful, painful obituary: Madelyn Linsenmeir, 1988-2018.

From Steven Davis, and this is happily amazing: The Art Practice Dr. Seuss Kept Hidden from the World.
