Friday Links!

Leading off this week, rare footage of both Jimi Hendrix and Prince playing acoustic guitar: Jimi Hendrix Goes Acoustic.

From C. Lee, and it's incredibly impressive: Scientists trick cancer cells into self-destructing through genetic editing. Yeah, it's bad, and the Supreme Court is both inept and evil: Can Biden Really Drone Strike Mar-a-Lago Now? Bizarre: The president ordered a board to probe a massive Russian cyberattack. It never did. An absolutely terrific read: The Forgotten Black Explorers Who Transformed Americans’ Understanding of the Wilderness. This is both sad and enraging: What do we do about Alice Munro now? Reckoning with the late author and Nobel Prize winner’s complicity in her daughter’s abuse. I'll keep saying it: billionaires are a policy mistake. That gives people like this exponentially too much influence. How Did Silicon Valley Turn into a Creepy Cult? Good advice: Don’t look at the interviewer during an online job interview. Quite the fantastic story: You Sexy Devil – The Story of the Genie du Maal. Classic, to no one's surprise (it's the Digital Antiquarian): Starcraft (A History in Two Acts).

From Wally, and interesting article on Amazon self-publishing: Categories on Amazon. This is a terrific read and hopefully not paywalled for you: After 12 Years of Reviewing Restaurants, I’m Leaving the Table
