Friday Links!

Leading off this week, a detectorist triumph (man, I love that show): Detectorist in Scottish Borders uncovers bronze age haul.

From Meg McReynolds, and this is tremendous: Darth Vader Statue (converted from Lenin). These guys are hilarious and their enthusiasm is infectious: FIRST TIME HEARING Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight REACTION.

From Wally, and these are all a bit strange: Star Trek: The 10 Weirdest Official Merch You Can Buy. This is quite a thoughtful analysis: The World of Robert B. Parker's Spenser and the Birth of the 1970s Private Detective. This is so unbelievably stunning: Bride describes ‘nightmare scene’ after Beirut explosion hit her photoshoot. So, so pleasant: Rube Goldberg Puzzles. This is absolutely excellent:  The Impact of Toxic Influencers on Communities.

From David Gloier, and it's incredible: Sharks found living in an active volcano stun scientists.

From C. Lee, and it's a sad story: 1000s of Korean laborers still lost after WWII, Cold War end. This is fascinating: Why Are Plants Green? To Reduce the Noise in Photosynthesis. A terrific read: The Battle to Invent the Automatic Rice Cooker. Oops:  Beer brand and leather store unwittingly named after Māori word for 'pubic hair'.  This is remarkable: Being swallowed by a frog is no problem for this aquatic beetle. Also fascinating: Your Old Radiator Is a Pandemic-Fighting Weapon. A significant problem: “I literally cannot sell units on Switch. It’s heartbreaking, and it makes me really sad for the eShop.”

Closing out the week, from John Harwood, and it's fantastic: The UX of LEGO Interface Panels.
