Friday Links!
Have a good weekend and stay safe, everyone.
From Chris M., and it's bang-on: Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
From Wally, and people who call "snowed in" five inches of snow are adorable: Popcorn, pints and a pooch’s birthday: life snowed in at the Tan Hill Inn. A good description of the writer/editor relationship (even if the writer is both): The Professional Editor/Writer Relationship. This is interesting because I'm just not very framerate-sensitive and don't see much of a difference: NVIDIA DLSS 4 - Official Dune: Awakening Comparison Trailer | CES 2025.
From C. Lee, and it's handy wildfire links for those of you in the L.A. area: If you lost your home or business in the wildfires, here’s what to do next and How to protect yourself from the smoke caused by L.A. wildfires. A thoughtful read: Social Theory for the Mid-21st Century: Part III. How Can the Experiences of Past Societies of Domination Be Relevant for Us? History: 'Amazing Grace' was first performed on New Year's Day over 250 years ago. Bootstraps with a rocket pack attached: Which U.S. Companies Receive the Most Government Subsidies? This is fascinating: Study: Chimps’ performances affected by watching eyes. Body norms: Butt Stuff. An obscure and interesting bit of history: The Law of Averages 1: Normman and Norma. Ouch: Human thought runs at just 10 bits per second, say Caltech scientists — that's why we are mostly single-taskers. A terrific read: How Humphrey Bogart homaged chess in Casablanca, and named a gambit. More: Vintage Photographs of Humphrey Bogart Playing Chess. Another excellent read: Masahiro Shindo, the secret hero who propped up Nintendo’s console development from the NES through to the Nintendo Switch. Fabulous: Japanese Designer New Year’s Cards of 2025.
