Friday Links!

Leading off this week, a terrific read: How physicist Sameera Moussa went from a role model to a target

This sounds like a phenomenal series: Secrets of the Elephants series reveals a unique, dynamic animal culture

From C. Lee, and it's news to me: Colorado Is Not a Rectangle—It Has 697 Sides. Highly useful information: Last-gen ultralight laptops are nearly as fast as new models—and much cheaper. An interesting read: iSIM vs eSIM vs SIM: The constantly shrinking ways carriers ID your phone. I've never had one before: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Breadfruit. Hard pass: Where people drink beer for breakfast. This is absolutely amazing: Making a Masterpiece... with a Vintage Typewriter

From Kevin W., and this is going to be a huge issue: Writers Are Becoming ‘AI Prompt Engineers,’ a Job Which May or May Not Exist

From Wally, and we need to stop claiming that stupid is a side. It's not: Substack CEO Chris Best Doesn’t Realize He’s Just Become The N*zi Bar. This is a massive rabbit hole: Fictional brands archive. An excellent read: Project Paperclip and American Rocketry after World War II. This is brutal: Anatomy of a Fake Literary Agency Scam. An odd bit of history: Operation Cornflakes: how the OSS brought Allied propaganda straight to the doorstep of Germany
