- Banana wine: Malawi's growing industry to beat climate change (BBC) I am definitely going to have to try this. They make the wine because the bananas are rpiening too early.
- Reassessing William the Conqueror (History Today) Much like Richard III, he probably got a bum wrap.
- Paul Graham and the Cult of the Founder (Dave Karpf ) Money quote, "Graham’s cultural influence has been elevating and exalting “founders” as a unique and special boys. And the broader tech industry is worse off as a result."
- The Worst Magazine In America (Current Affairs) The Atlantic, of course. Because they pretend to have ideas when it is all just click bait and mindless contrarianism.

- How to kill your tech company (Elon Musk edition) (The Journal of Uncharted Blue Places) I love this bit, "No, it's much bigger than that. It's the equivalent of the Coca Cola Company inventing New Coke, then marketing it with the idea what if we put pictures of brutally murdered children on every can."
- Tiny Hippos And Elephants Once Roamed Cyprus, Until Humans Arrived (ScienceAlert) Now I want a Shetland Elephant.

Something from the TV Series Zatoichi: The Blind Swordsman Season. Not great TV, but fun, if a bit contrived:
