This is excellent: A Tale Of Two Ecosystems: On Bandcamp. And this is genuinely incredible: Microsoft Flight Simulator players are flying into Hurricane Laura (real-time satellite data FTW).
From Wally, and it's totally cool: Explore the Museum in Klingon. This is awesome: Meet the 'SlothBot,' the robot taking its sweet time to monitor our climate. Ah, McSweeney's: Arkham Board of Health Feedback on Miskatonic University's Draft Plan For a Safe Campus Repopening. These are excellent: Ray Bradbury's 14 Most Notable Genre Adaptations, On This, His 100th Birthday. This is long and wonderful: The Pandemic Shows Us the Genius of Supermarkets: A short history of the stores that—even now—keep us supplied with an abundance of choices.
From Meg McReynolds, and it's an interesting tidbit: Disney Artwork Once Adorned UCLA, Oregon Ticket Stubs. This is fascinating: How a 200-Year-Old Gift From Benjamin Franklin Made Boston and Philadelphia a Fortune.
From C. Lee, and that's a monster, not cherry blossoms (also, I approve): The terrifying monster logo for the Osaka world’s fair is born, immediately gets fan art. An incredible story: The Bombing and the Breakthrough. This is where ours belong, too (like The Museum of Shame): The Museum Where Racist and Oppressive Statues Go to Die. But who will they make the games about? The gang’s gone gray: Majority of yakuza in Japan now over age 50. I had no idea: How Former Samurai and Farmers Cultivated the First Japanese Apples. Fantastic: The Ultimate Campfire Just Needs One Piece of Wood.
