Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- Here's why Substack's scam worked so well. They paid a secret group of writers to make newsletter authorship seem lucrative.
- The best sci-fi and fantasy books of 2020 to catch up with. Short reviews of some of the best SFF novels of 2020 reviewed by author Andrew Liptak.
- California is banning companies from using 'dark patterns,' "a sneaky website design that makes things like canceling a subscription frustratingly difficult."
- A Model of the Cosmos in the ancient Greek Antikythera Mechanism. "Solving this complex 3D puzzle reveals a creation of genius—combining cycles from Babylonian astronomy, mathematics from Plato’s Academy and ancient Greek astronomical theories."
- Strength in Numbers. "Accountancy is more likely to be mocked than celebrated (or condemned), but accountants, far more than poets, are the unacknowledged legislators of the world."
- Conservative Fanboys. "The conservative cinematic universe is folding in on itself."
