[strong cw: war, murder] [Data Secrets Lox part 1; Data Secrets Lox part 2; Wayback part 1; Wayback part 2] (by Chevalier Mal Fet) I don't read Data Secrets Lox much, but every once in a while I take a look at what's won the Alexander Prize for Effortposting. Turns out in May and June one of the people there wrote a whole-ass history book on 20th-century South Korea, with a focus on the Gwangju Uprising of 1980. Well-written, and a good look into a time period from after most history lessons stop.

(Note: I did not proofread a whole book, but the bits I double-checked seemed accurate.)

[Patagonia; Wayback] (by Sakeus Bankson) Zippers: the bane of high-quality, low-waste clothing manufacturers.

Laugh rule:
[arguably cw: unreality] [gwern.net; Wayback]

The lion-hunting paper was duly accepted for publication, with one editorial alteration: our footnote to a footnote was ruthlessly removed.⁴

⁴Monsters! —Editor. ↩

[cw: unreality] [Wikipedia; Wayback] Not a laugh-rule link, but it needed to be after that one: while we're talking about H. Petard, take a look at Ong's Hat.

There is a blanket [cw: illness] on the rest of this post.
