Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- The Seeds of Political Violence Are Being Sown in Church. "The new insurrection is being organized, in a sanctuary near you."
- THE JACKPOT: How London Became A Concierge for Kleptocrats. "Novelist Cory Doctorow tracks Britain’s domestic scandals back to the capital’s reliance on laundered money from overseas, and the feasting of so many professions on the proceeds."
- ‘Frankly it blew my mind’: how Tron changed cinema – and predicted the future of tech. "From cyberspace to AI, Steven Lisberger’s 1982 sci-fi classic was way ahead of its time. The team behind it explain how they made a game-changer."
- Stress busting and smoking hot: the OED June 2022 update. "The latest update to the OED includes over 700 new entries and senses. These range alphabetically from the East African ahoi (a person or body of people given the right to cultivate a plot of land without payment) to zooarchaeological (of, relating to, or designating animal remains recovered from an archaeological site)."
- ‘It’s not going to be as sexy’: Boca Chica looks toward a SpaceX future less lofty than it’d hoped. The Cape may become the major SpaceX launch facility, with major effects on the south Texas economy.
- Microbes May Hold the Secret to Creating More Powerful Rocket Fuel. "An anti-fungal molecule produced by the Streptomyces bacteria could enable supercharged biofuels."
