Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.

| Birds on the ice |
- Why I’m disappointed with the TVs at CES 2025. "Op-ed: TVs miss opportunity for real improvement by prioritizing corporate needs." The enshittification of technology continues.
- See how a small fire in L.A. turned into a monster, hour by hour (gift link). The speed with which the Palisades fire developed is absolutely terrifying.
- The Steampunk Explorer's Expanded Calendar Listing. "We maintain a database of approximately 1,200 events that take place each year. In addition to steampunk gatherings, they include science fiction conventions, anime conventions, comic cons, Renaissance fairs, book fairs, and more."
- Why a Canadian director’s documentary on Amazon’s labour unrest is striking a chord. And why you can only watch it until the end of the week on the filmmakers' website.
- Have a Highly Trustless 2025. "Blockchain, accelerating obsolescence and the perils of writing near-future science fiction." An insightful article by SF author, Karl Schroeder, who discusses the topics in light of his novel, Stealing Worlds. (On my TBR list, and I will probably have a review in a few months).
- The School Shootings Were Fake. The Terror Was Real. "The inside story of the teenager whose “swatting” calls sent armed police racing into hundreds of schools nationwide—and the private detective who tracked him down."
- The Physicist Decoding the Nonbinary Nature of the Subatomic World. "Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective unlike many of their peers."
- Linguists Speak Of A New Language Dialect Evolving In The US. "A unique Spanglish cocktail has been emerging in Miami over recent decades."
