A Brief Link Dump

- SCOTUS: No Fat Chicks. Plus-sized women discouraged from serving their nation in the highest judicial offices. Funny. As far as I know, none of the previous dudes up for a nod to that merry sausage-fest were ever assessed by the circumference of their asses.
- An Engineer’s Guide to Cats. Yes, I am the last person on the internet to see this and get a laugh out of it. It’s delightfully deadpan; stick around until the “cat yodeling” at the very least. And then, if the cat yodeling gave you the giggles, click on the follow-up video.
- The struggle to preserve Tesla’s laboratory. Wardenclyffe is still standing, and it’s for sale — though the giant electrical tower has been torn down. Preservationists are doing their best to raise money and raise hell to keep it from being torn down for development. Interesting NY Times story.
- See also: Urban Exploration. This video details some … erm … trespassers, shall we say, who let themselves into Wardenclyffe for a little peek around. It’s dark and haunting, and I envy their access.

By the way, I want the 45 minutes of my life back that I lost through today looking at Telsa laboratory stuff after you mentioned it on Twitter. I had read about some of that stuff in the past; didn’t realise it still existed. It was an interesting read (but I had stuff to do!)

Tough noogies! Sometimes, life is for reading interesting things.
And that’s all I’ve got to say about that.
