The Friday Link Dump Edition
On microwaves, Modelo, and medicine.
Noah here. It’s August, I recently moved, and Colin’s been on vacation. We’ve been taking it pretty easy this week, but it’s nearly 5 pm on the east coast, and I realized we hadn’t sent an email out. So here’s a quick cop-out with some interesting links I’ve run into over the last few weeks (a few were submitted by contributors, initials in parentheses):
Esther Crawford on Twitter, Before and After Charles Foster Musk's Takeover
Semantic drift of the week (there’s a WITI in this one)
Man who spent $20K to transform himself into border collie steps out for first-ever walk in public
C-section Rates Are Way Too High. We Need to Hold Doctors and Hospitals Accountable
Who Was Barbie? (RA)
The Best Car In The World: Building The Toyota Century (RMM)
WITI Classifieds:
We are experimenting with running some weekly classifieds in WITI. If you’re interested in running an ad, you can purchase one through this form. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop a line.
Chart of the Day:
Alright, that’s it for now. Have a great weekend.
