Short Saturday linkpost
Apr. 26th, 2025 04:03 pmI have a backlog of links, I have about half an hour free, so I thought I'd make a linkpost.
Japan built a 3D-printed train station in six hours, and it was pretty cool.
A Rebecca Solnit essay which sums up a phenomenon that I've been describing for several years as '(geo)political abuse apologism.'
Marie Le Conte writes up her worst experiences living in shared rented flats, and while I've had some interesting sharehouse experiences, this whole thing is making me very relieved that I never, ever had to share with strangers in London.
A look back at the stealth influence of Robyn's 'Dancing on My Own,' fifteen years on. (It's not even my favourite song from Body Talk, that's how good that album is.)
Every year, since I first saw author Amal El-Mohtar talking about it in her newsletter, I've said I was going to make lilac syrup, and every year I've failed to do so. This article talks about the spring when suddenly lilac syrup became a craze that swept the internet.
Several of these articles were free to me to read, but may end up being paywalled for you, and if so, I apologise.
Edited to add:
