One of the good things about re-opening my account at Metafilter has been rolling around in links for things I find pretty cool. To that end, a quick list:

generating an electrifying conversation, in which I wax enthusiastic about electric fish.

Human races are not like dog breeds: refuting a racist analogy, in which I basically just brought [twitter.com profile] HollyDunsworth's recent paper of the same name in; it's a really good paper, and a reasonable discussion.

a rewilding experiment that's now been running for 25 years, in which I check in on what's going on with the invasive hippos that Pablo Escobar helpfully gifted Colombia with in the 90s.

Starry starry knit, on some of the more interesting knit stellar pieces--Celestarium, Southern Skies, that one enormous knitted blanket an engineer did with a knitting machine charting a massive star chart.

How inmates play tabletop RPGs in prisons where dice are contraband. More or less what it says on the tin.
