Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- The Falkirk Wheel. This is one of the coolest pieces of engineering that I've seen.
- WhatTheFont. "Instant font identification powered by the world’s largest collection of fonts."
- Prospects for life on Venus fade — but aren’t dead yet. Debate continues over a controversial report of phosphine in the planet’s atmosphere, as researchers reanalyze data and find a fainter signal.
- A Solar-Powered Rocket Might Be Our Ticket to Interstellar Space. The idea for solar thermal propulsion has been around for decades, but researchers tapped by NASA just conducted a first test.
- They turned my gender into a dictionary word. Author Annalee Newitz writes about what it means to be nonbinary and why pronouns matter.
- The Distinguished Medieval Penis Investigators. "In fourteenth-century England, one of the only ways a woman could get a divorce was if her husband was impotent. But first, she had to prove it in court."
