Friday Links!

From Chris M., and it's an annual favorite: Bad writing becomes an art form in annual contest for world's worst prose

From Wally, and this is terrific: ‘If 1.5m Germans have them there must be something in it’: how balcony solar is taking off. These are wonderful (Calvin and Hobbes fan art): All the Bacon and Hobbes comics I could find! A deep dive into shark movies: Jumping the Shark, Part II. An excellent read: How Honeycrisp Apples Went From Marvel to Mediocre. For you grognards out there: Armchair Dragoons Digital Convention

From C. Lee, and it could have tremendous implications: New 'Brain Atlas' Spurs Life-Changing Stimulation Therapy. This is incredibly tragic, and putting politicians who ooze toxic masculinity in charge is going to make it worse: Leading cause of death for pregnant women is likely not what you think. Also discouraging: The lowdown on the high-pitched tone adopted by Japanese women. Bizarre: Who Came Up With Those Rental Income Requirements Anyway? In the U.S., it's not surprising: What it’s like to sleep in prison: Moldy mattresses, bright lights, nonstop noise. A thoughtful interview: Nvidia's Unique History and Culture. A fabulous read: Electric Jewellery and the Forgotten Genius who Lit Up Paris. These are quite, um, special: A Collection of 25 Ugly and Wonderful Christmas Trees From the 1950s and 1960s. A phenomenal article title and you might hit a paywall: The Problem With Red Dead Redemption 2’s Horse Testicles
