Friday Links!

Leading off this week, an incredible story: My Childhood in a Cult.

From Dave Schroeder, and this is a brief but riveting: My search for a boyhood friend led to a dark discovery.

A load of links from C. Lee, and excellent as always. First, and this is intriguing, it's To Make Sense of the Present, Brains May Predict the Future. Next, and this just won't work, it's To Cope With a Wartime Banana Ban, British Home Cooks Made ‘Mock Bananas’. This is brutal: The Doorbell Company That’s Selling Fear. An excellent video series: Then This Happened.

From Ken Piper, and if you ever wondered: The Origin of the Term "Gamer". This is intriguing: A Video Game Developed To Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Seems To Be Working. Next, and this is bizarre, it's Seeing the quantum. This is absolutely amazing: A robot that can copy your handwriting. This is fantastic: New Xbox Controller With Haptic Braille Output Patented by Microsoft. This is concerning: Sunscreen chemicals soak all the way into your bloodstream.

From Scott Gould, and it's thought-provoking: Bullets and bills: The cost of getting shot in America.
