Friday Links!
Leading off this week, a lovely bit of the past: “I cannot wait to possess you”: Reading 18th-century letters for the first time.
This is terrific (and a 16-year-old boy had the idea!): Document: The Symbolism Survey.
From Wally, and wow, what a read: Erewhon’s Secrets: In the 1960s, two macrobiotic enthusiasts started a health-food sect beloved by hippies. Now it’s the most culty grocer in L.A.
From C. Lee, and even the dictionary is a Hanshin Tigers fan: Bilingual dictionary can’t hide its love for Hanshin Tigers. An odd topic, perhaps, but a fascinating read: No Fap: A Cultural History of Anti-Masturbation. This is a remarkable possibility: A Personalized Brain Implant Curbed a Woman’s OCD. This is obviously a cluster: How Microsoft is making a mess of the news after replacing staff with AI. An excellent read: Freedom without justice. I expect better from Consumer Reports: Despite spooky Consumer Reports’ testing, metals in chocolates aren’t scary. My favorite Studio Ghibli movie: The Secret Behind the Mysterious Girl in ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ Posters. This is so disappointing: Video game preservation: Is the industry torching its own legacy?
