Links for August 14th

Emily, please. It's Rory. What she tackles, she conquers. This girl could name the state capitals at 3, recite the periodic table at 4, discuss Schopenhauer's influence on Nietzsche when she was 10. She's read every book by every author with a Russian surname and had a 4.2 grade-point average at one of the toughest schools on the east coast. If she's excluding salmon puffs, she has a good reason to exclude salmon puffs. And I, for one, have complete confidence in her ability to tackle this job, and so should you.

LONG ASS READ ALERT
"A Colder War" is a short story by Charles Stross. I first read it maybe 2 years ago when researching for my screenplay. It is an excellent story in which nuclear weapons are the least thing to fear between the USA and Soviet Union. Great Lovecraftian writing, great story.

Leave the old hag alone.
