Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- The Sci-Fi Adaptation That's More Impossible Than 'Dune'. Why you may never see an adaptation of Neuromancer.
- The US and British navies' newest submarines are equipped with totally different kinds of periscopes. Modern sensor tech finally comes to submarines.
- New York City Subway Flooding Demonstrates Transit System Vulnerability to Climate Change. This will become more common in the future and not just in New York.
- ‘Rise of the Moors’ Standoff Shuts Down I-95: Who Are They and What Do They Believe? "Police arrested members of a Rhode Island–based militia after a lengthy standoff. The suspects are part of a group that believes that they are not bound by U.S. law."
- QAnon Pivots Its Exiled Online Movement to the Real World. "The conspiracists might have been deplatformed, but their movement is shifting into local elections and events." This worries me.
- The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make. "Nearly 200 years ago, Dhaka muslin was the most valuable fabric on the planet. Then it was lost altogether. How did this happen? And can we bring it back?"
