I never thought I'd lead off with a four-hour video about YouTube plagiarism, but here we are: Epic 4-hour documentary about YouTube plagiarists sends them scurrying desperately away. Dipping in and out of this video is fantastically enjoyable, by the way.From Meg McReynolds, and it's truly in keeping with the season: a truly hilarious company holiday party story, told in bullet points.
From Wally, and it's promising: New Catalyst Completely Breaks Down Durable Plastic Pollution in Minutes. This is interesting and thoughtful: The Cthulhu Helix (2023) by Umehara Katsufumi (梅原克文).
From C. Lee, and it's an excellent read: How the 'Western mind' was shaped by the Medieval Church. Related: How East and West think in profoundly different ways. Fascinating: Maps have ‘north’ at the top, but it could’ve been different. An historical oddity: The Muddled Origins of the Word ‘Viking’. A wonderful read, and I can't wait to see the new movie when it opens: What’s It Like to Work With Hayao Miyazaki? Go Behind the Scenes. Welcome to Crazy Town: Chinese celebrity chef vows to never cook egg fried rice again after nationalist backlash. I have no idea how this is remotely possible: The Man Who Invented Fifteen Hundred Necktie Knots. This is not exactly apples-to-apples, but it's an interesting data point nonetheless: Electric vehicles report 79% more issues than gas-powered cars.
