Friday Links!
Leading off this week, a remarkable story: 3D muscle reconstruction shows 3.2 million-year-old “Lucy” walked upright.
This is heartwarming (I didn't know cheetahs were shy): Emotional support dogs are used to keep cheetahs calm and happy.
I'd like to fall off a unicycle like this: Watch the most successful skateboarding fail ever (video).
From John W., and this is just brilliant: The heavy "fake tango" performance.The one who won the international competition 9 times.
From Chris M., and if you're a parent and you spend less than 250k to help a child get to the NHL, you're lucky (and it's closer to 400k for a goalie): The Expensive Path to Becoming an NHL Player.
From Wally, and the hype is building: I Don’t Even Understand How ‘Starfield’ Exists. This is interesting: How COVID Lockdowns Distorted Our Sense of Time. I mean, I thought it was doomed in 2010, and I've been wrong for 13 years: GameStop is doomed, water is wet, and other observations.
From C. Lee, and it's a fantastic read: The strange story of the teens behind the Mirai botnet. Next, and this is also excellent, it's Why your brain hates other people. Also terrific: What Not to Wear. Good grief, these are all phenomenal: Foundational Anxieties, Modern Mathematics, and the Political Imagination. This makes sense: Japan vending machines to automatically offer free food if earthquake hits. Very striking design (and for a kindergarten!): Tamatsukuri Kindergarten’s Renewed Circular Campus Fosters Inquisitive Learning and an Appreciation for Nature.
