Friday Links!
There are a ton of excellent long reads this week.Leading off this week, from Scott Gould, and it's beautifully written: In Cairo, the Garbage Collector Knows Everything.
This is fantastic: Gregorian Voices: Early Roman Catholic Church Song Generator.
Here's an absolutely fascinating thread about Kodak and nuclear testing: So, Kodak is weird. This is a terrific article that raises some uncomfortable questions: Zoos Called It a 'Rescue.' But Are the Elephants Really Better Off? A great read: What Really Happened to Malaysia’s Missing Airplane.
From Joshua Buergel, and it's devastating: Uber’s Path of Destruction.
From Brian Brown, and a Bob Ross link is never unworthy: Where Are All the Bob Ross Paintings? We Found Them.
From Steven Davis, and this is remarkable: The Forbidden Images of the Chinese Internet.
From Wally, and this is amazing: 720 Ton Dragline Excavator Rescue From Island. This is incredible: The battle to separate Safa and Marwa.
From Eric Higgins-Freese, and it's thought provoking: Seeing greenery linked to less intense and frequent cravings.
Outstanding links from C. Lee. First a two-part documentary on the Dreamcast, a wonderful console:
A Dream Cast, part one
A Dream Cast, part two
Interesting: DNA Changes Made Us the 'Fat Primates'. This is one of the most remarkable stories I've ever read: Overlooked No More: Ralph Lazo, Who Voluntarily Lived in an Internment Camp. A fun read: Space and booze, an anecdotal history. How do people not go to prison over this? Ford knew Focus, Fiesta models had flawed transmission, sold them anyway.
