larryhammerRandom walks through the magical land of hyperlinkage.
Lately, I've been invoking the trope exactly what it says on the tin a lot. In this case, the tin says "Chewbacca on a Squirrel Fighting Nazis." (via)
Speaking of TV Tropes, I think I'm glad I never met this book as a kid. Pumped full of high octane nightmare fuel, that one.
Speaking of boybooks, The First Book of Boys' Cooking. Special. (indirectly via)
Speaking of special things, an interview with someone responsible for servicing the two ATMs in McMurdo Station. Yes, there's money on The Ice. So why two? For failover, it turns out. (via)
Speaking of money, RSA Animate brings us a whiteboard animation of a talk on Crisis of Capitalism (via)
Speaking of privileged systems, an interesting essay on labels, marking, othering, and privilege. (via)
Speaking of gender role panics, Flappers! Without shame! Note the date, too.
Speaking of Life magazine, they've posted some previously unpublished Hiroshima and Nagasaki photos from their archives. (via)
Speaking of which, an animated map of all nuclear explosions 1945-1998. The slightly compressed version is in the sidebar, if you find this a bit slow. (via)
Speaking of maps, you may have noticed that I'm fond of Strange Maps, or at least of linking to posts from there. Here's one from the archives that maps the moonwalks of Apollo 11 on the scale of a soccer field.
Apropos of nothing above, if you've ever wondered whether big cats like catnip, you can see for yourself. (via)
