Friday Links!

Leading off this week, it's a book! The Man You Trust. I'm trying to work out a deal with the Girl Scouts to sell my book in addition to their cookies, and negotiations are ongoing. There seem to be several sticking points, and I have no idea why. 

Next, a terrific article on the Apple Lisa: Revisiting Appleā€™s ill-fated Lisa computer, 40 years on

Here's a lovely story on my favorite animal, the capybara: Is this the friendliest creature on the planet? And a video that will be the best 11 minutes you've spent all week: Why are capybaras "so chill?"

The story behind an iconic Simpson's episode: Throw Up Your Hands and Raise Your Voice! Monorail! Monorail! Monorail!

I'll tailgate in the parking lot of the pharmacy to celebrate this being available someday: RSV vaccine for older adults is 84% effective, Moderna says

This is a remarkable video: Watching custom, handmade hiking boots being made in a Korean shoe shop

Wally sent in a follow-up to yesterday's post that is quite good: The Machines Already Took Our Jobs

From Chris M., and hopefully this isn't paywalled for you: AI Is Not the New Crypto
