Friday Links!

Light this week, presumably due to Stormageddon.

If you want to understand why almost 40% of this country believe immigration enforcement now is either "about right" or "not doing enough," I implore you to read this: They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45

Fascinating: A century in the Siberian wilderness: the Old Believers who time forgot.

This is excellent reading: Science Cheats: A Reading List on Unscrupulous Scientists

Terrific: The shape of time In the 19th century, the linear idea of time became dominant, forever changing how those in the West experience the world.

This completely blows my mind: Playing in flatland: Physicists believe a third class of particles – anyons – could exist, but only in 2D. What kind of existence is that? 

This will keep you busy for hours: ‘Actually Really Sacred’: A George Saunders Reading List. Nine essays and interviews from literature’s favorite laureate of compassion.

From Wally, and it's a bummer: Mass Market Paperbacks are discontinued. I read a ton of 5"x7" paperbacks as a kid. Next, and it very accurately describes being a writer: The Velveteen Author. A deep dive: Exploration Log 12: Adam Rowe on the Best Retro Science Fiction Art Collections. Astonishing (woodworking): Recreating Studley.
