Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- How To Ruin A TikTok Trick With Math. "It's a cool trick, but number theory is cooler."
- The Infamous 1972 Report That Warned of Civilization's Collapse. "The Limits to Growth argued that rampant pollution and resource extraction were pushing Earth to the brink. How does it hold up 50 years later?"
- Estimates of long Covid are startlingly high. Here’s how to understand them. You really, really, don't want to get COVID-19. Get your shots. Wear a mask.
- The Gaia Mission Keeps Unlocking Secrets of the Galaxy. "New data from the ESA’s probe, now eight years into its mission, adds significant detail to its portrait of nearly 2 billion objects in the Milky Way."
- America Is Sliding Into The Long Pandemic Defeat. "In the face of government inaction, the country’s best chance at keeping the crisis from spiraling relies on everyone to keep caring." Another not to be missed article from Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist, Ed Yong.
- ‘Mad’ Mike Hughes’ Last Ride: Inside a Flat-Earther’s Doomed Mission. I find it hard to believe that someone could risk his life trying to prove something so demonstrably wrong, but I guess he never saw a laker sail over the horizon on Lake Superior.
