If you, like me, are missing the Haunted Mansion especially keenly as we pass through this all-too-short, stolen Decorative Gourd season with its rare confluence of an Oct 31 full moon on a Saturday night, Disney Imagineering has some comfort for you.

1/ Image
The @DisneyParks blog has published a pair of printable Haunted Mansion activity books (the first half of four weekly installments) that offer a wealth of decor elements to print, cut, color, fold.

2/
Part 1 features a papercraft set of Disneyland entry gates in their Hallowe'en finery, a papercraft bat-stanchion with WELCOME FOOLISH MORTALS signage, and Hitchhiking Ghosts, Hatbox Ghost an ghostly hand shadow puppets.

Hans de Zwart is a digital rights activist - he used to run the Dutch campaigning group Bits of Freedom - who also happens to be a massive Big Lebowski fan. He created thebiglebow.ski, a search-engine for Lebowski quotes.

1/ Image
Things were fine until de Zwart started getting user complaints: they couldn't share content from his search engine on Facebook. They got this cryptic error: "Your message couldn’t be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive."

2/
In an article for @nrc, @reinierkist recounts the bizarre, kafkaesque journey de Zwart embarked upon to find out why Facebook had classed quotes from The Big Lebowski as "abusive."

The latest episode of my podcast is part 18 of my reading of my 2006 novel "Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town," a book that Gene Wolfe called "a glorious book unlike any book you’ve ever read."

This week's episode comes with content warnings for spousal abuse, sexual violence and self-harm - and it also came with a kind of shock for me about how much my attitudes to how this kind of material should be presented in art have changed over the past ~15 years.

2/
Here's how to catch up on previous installments:

Clock Simulator is a game that simulates being a clock. You have to click your mouse once per second, on the beat, to advance the second hand of a clock around a virtual clockface. The creator calls it a "minimalist rhythm game."

Now, if you want to rack up some really high Clock Simulator scores, you COULD spend hours at your mouse, tap-tap-tapping. But there's a better way to do it...with SCIENCE.

2/
Best of all: it's a hardware hack.

@mdwyerfoo's Clock Simulator hack feeds a GPS receiver's 1PPS (one pulse per second) function into a mouse for an unbeatable Clock Simulator high-score generator.

Thing about the "herd immunity" debate is, there isn't one. Herd immunity was discarded by WHO virologists and epidemiologists and their US/UK counterparts. So why are we still talking about it?

Thank right-wing think-tanks, awash in corporate money.

The Hoover Institute and the American Institute for Economic Research have coordinated with the Trump administration to promote this idea. Hoover's Scott Atlas is on Trump's covid task force and his idea of scientific debate is threatening to sue scientists.

2/
The majority of support for herd immunity comes from three scientists: Martin Kulldorff (Harvard Med), Sunetra Gupta (Oxford epidemiology) and theex-Hooverites Jay Bhattacharya (Stanford).
