Friday Links!

From Wally, and this is quite a story: Dracula in the 1970s: Prints of Darkness. Pulp writers didn't have it easy, back in the day: The Past Is Not as Rosy as You’ve Been Led to Believe. Fan museums are the best: Eight Movie Museums Cinephiles Need to Visit.

C. Lee dropped the hammer this week. First, a fantastic read: Murder, Corruption, and Cover-Ups: The Asahikawa Police Scandal. Obvious: The First Amendment is in grave danger if Trump wins. And more: A Trump judge ruled there’s a Second Amendment right to own machine guns. Excellent innovation: Indian desert school's unique design offers respite from heat. This is underrepresented as a concern: How much more water and power does AI computing demand? Tech firms don’t want you to know. Also: AI's race for US energy butts up against bitcoin mining. An interesting finding: HPV Might Be a Sperm Killer. Amazing! Bacteria helping to extract rare metals from old batteries in boost for green tech. The evolution of power supplies: Asus shows off GaN PSUs at Gamescom 2024, touts benefits of increased efficiency, cooler and quieter operation. This is a delightful story: Teenage Maurice Sendak illustrated his teacher’s 1947 pop-sci book. You'd think everyone would have learned by now: Black Myth: Wukong Devs Told Streamers to Avoid Politics in Their Playthroughs. It Backfired. I hope I get to see this some day: Your Mii is your ticket to get into the Nintendo Museum
