Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- The story behind the greatest baseball card ever made

- Government surveillance is out of hand and they want to make it worse

-  Getting to know Chrysippus - the second founder of Stoicism

- Turns out that Division 1 colleges have been paying "student athletes" "legally" since January 2015. "And that sums up the Principle of Amateurism pretty well. Not worth a damn to begin with."

- Love a story with a happy ending

- From the (disturbed?) mind of coach Mike Leach

    “They didn’t want the shows to be too interesting or plot-heavy (aka “normal”) that it distracted the viewer from their ‘primary screen’ of their phone. The streamers wanted to ensure that the viewer kept the streaming service on for as long as possible, something simply playing in the background and not intruding on their social media scrolling.”
