Leading off this week from COVID Central, a fantastic read: ‘The devil’s child’: the rise and fall of the only female yakuza.
From Wally, a fine assortment of the food found in Japan: JAPAN - Spring 2026: SAPPORO. This is an astonishing video (the home is from the 1860s!); I should not have liked the world’s first smart home. Unfortunate and probably inevitable: Counterfeiters have a new scheme to make money: Board games.
From Ken P., and C is one of the magnets (Eli 24.9 as well): Why are some people mosquito magnets? Clues are emerging. This is going to be an epidemic: Literary Prizewinners Are Facing AI Allegations. It Feels Like the New Normal. This is wonderful: Dolphins in bioluminescence is simply magical. These photographs are amazing: Martian Clouds. This is extraordinarily bad: CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on Github. Ten years ago and still funny: Chewbacca Mask Lady. Not a winning case: Legal fail: Don’t use AI to sue Facebook users for calling you a bad date. A fantastic list (except having London Calling at #10 is a crime): The 100 Greatest Punk Albums of All Time. This is incredibly useful: Look Up Where Your Generic Prescription Drugs Were Made: The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead.
