Friday Links!
Leading off this week, an interesting diversion (and the explanation is interesting as well): Can you beat this mind-reading machine invented in 1953?
From the man who should know: George Orwell on the real meaning of Animal Farm: get rid of the pigs.
From Wally, and this is an excellent read: The Very Capitalist History of the American Coffee Break. This is fascinating: Linguists have identified a new English dialect that’s emerging in South Florida. Interesting (I wish it had been longer and more in-depth, too): Inside the black box of Amazon returns.
From C. Lee, and it's an incredible story: Kathleen Folbigg: Misogyny helped jail her, science freed her. I'm very curious about this: From Energy Drinks to Extending Life? Supplement Slows Aging in Mice and Monkeys. This is quite unexpected (and it might be paywalled): Does shingles vaccination cut dementia risk? Large study hints at a link. I had no idea this is what happened when you painted brick: How Painted Bricks Could Have Contributed to the Recent Iowa Building Collapse. What a story: How a Toilet Plunger Improved CPR. This is terrific analysis: The Brilliant Scholar Who’s Challenging Racism In Game Design. Gamer bros, what a curse: Data Shows Most Switch Owners Are Women, Gamers React Poorly.
A heartbreaking story from David Gloier: Jack Hanna's long goodbye: How Alzheimer's is stripping away the man the world once knew.
