As I explained a couple of weeks ago, my long-running weekly round up of all the links I thought worth sharing has been retired, replaced by this, my Friday Five. Only the top five (IMHO) stories of the week and five videos and a recap of my posts.
Stories of the Week:
No Matter How You Measure Them, Mass Shooting Deaths Are Up.
At Indigenous Comic Con, Native American geeks have a con to call their own.
Hating Comic Sans Is Ableist. I understand what the author is trying to say: a lot of dyslexic people find Comic Sans’ irregularities helpful for reading. But the fant is ugly and poorly designed. I reserve the right to dislike poorly designed things, sorry. And everyone else is allowed to disagree. Doesn’t make any of us any -ist…
America Is Not a ‘Center-Right Nation’.
In Memoriam:
I will continue to share links to obituaries of people I think ought to be remembered, and they won’t count against the Five.
Astronaut Richard Gordon, who circled the moon on Apollo 12, dies at 88.
Things I wrote:
The closet is a toxic place, and anything toxic can be weaponized.
