We have the traditional July 4th lead-in lack of links (it happens every year, and next week will be light as well, then things will return to normal:
Leading off this week, an absolutely fascinating read: America’s Pot Labs Have A THC Problem.
This guy almost makes me want to watch baseball instead of just highlights of him: Only One Player Has Ever Been As Good As Shohei Ohtani.
From Wally, and I understand this is performative law, but it's still super cool (go to page 6 in the filing): Third Planet Sci-Fi and Fantasy Lawsuit. Now that's a headline: Buck naked: nude sunbathers fleeing deer fined for breaking Sydney lockdown. "...the common, and costly, Maine-Oregon mixup": Dumpling machine gets wrapped up in confusion over the two Portlands.
From C. Lee, and this is really clever: This simple trick makes it quicker and easier to iron clothes. This is all kinds of amazing: Blood test that finds 50 types of cancer is accurate enough to be rolled out. This sounds disturbingly familiar: How China went from celebrating ethnic diversity to suppressing it. At last: Drinking straw device is instant cure for hiccups, say scientists. Badass of the week: Nailed it: man, 82, builds bench for wife in 30 minutes after council plea ignored. My health risk is that I'm a klutz: The hobby with hidden health risks. Very unfortunate, but an excellent combination of species for a cartoon: Tasmanian devils devastate penguin population on Australian island.
