Friday Links!

Leading off, an outstanding read: A Theology of Smuggling: In the early 1980s, in Tucson, activists and religious leaders joined forces to protect refugees at the U.S.-Mexico border. Their collaboration galvanized the Sanctuary Movement.

This is tremendous: Pizzastroika: In 1990, in the last breaths of the Cold War, a delicious act of American subversion unfolded in Moscow. It’s long been forgotten. It shouldn’t be.

A long and fascinating read: The inflammation age: Acute inflammation helps the body heal. But chronic inflammation is different and could provoke a medical paradigm shift

Excellent: The deepest South: Slavery in Latin America, on a huge scale, was different from that in the United States. Why don’t we know this history?

This is stunning: The evolution of rationality: How chimps process conflicting evidence.

Skip Hollandsworth is an amazing writer: The Hunt for the Serial Killer of Laredo,

From Sean R., and it's dark: Investigating a Possible Scammer in Journalism’s AI Era

From Wally (Don Bluth rabbit hole alert): Don Bluth Talks ‘Somewhere Out There’ Documentary and Future Production Dreams. Interesting: The ARC Effect: When Free Books Cost Honesty. This is excellent: Lessons About Power from Middle-earth (Tolkien and Lewis). I like Gabe, generally, but not this: Gabe Newell caps off Steam Machine week by taking delivery of a new $500 million superyacht with a submarine garage, on-board hospital and 15 gaming PCs
