Friday Links!

In case you're trapped in a bad family situation, links are being posted early (and no post on Friday). Happy (hopefully) holidays, everyone!

A wonderful read: The Fish That Climbed a Mountain: The wild tale of a small fishing club, a national park, and an epic battle over alien trout.

An incredible story, and even more incredible police ineptitude: The House on West Clay Street: Tabatha Pope thought she’d finally found an affordable place to live. It was the beginning of a nightmare.

This is fantastic: If a Tree Falls: The Trial of the Sycamore Gap Killers.

An excellent read: The Dead Mall Society

A phenomenal bit of both reporting and writing: ‘Haunted and cursed’: Lake Lanier has a deadly reputation. A darker tale hides beneath the surface

From Tom S. and the legendary Digital Antiquarian: Mr. Roberts Goes to Hollywood, Part 2: The Producer.

This is touching and heartbreaking: Beloved Bother: A typo in my great-uncle’s obituary held the key to understanding him. 

From Wally, and it's McSweeney's at its finest: The Deleted Sex Scene from Pride and Prejudice. The least-likely thing I'd ever do: A $600 Suckling Pig? Wagyu for All? On Menus, It’s a New Gilded Age. This is definitely not good: Five states have 'very high' flu activity. See what it's like in your state. This is on the nose: New Felapton Towers Contract for Authors. I have no explanation: Cats adjust their communication strategy by meowing more when greeting men

From D.G.F., and no one seems to be able to stop anything in this country: 104 murders in 107 days

From Chris M., and The Onion nailed it: American Classmates Having Difficulty Understanding Better Educated Foreign Exchange Student.
