"Links" Weekend Edition: IT'S ON

My Internet Q&A platform of choice is hands down Yahoo Answers. Currently on the site's front page: "Does Trump ever lie, "is 21 young" and my favorite ... "reset password." Jason Gilbert has found some gems on Quora too, though, and turned them into *literal poetry.* Is it my imagination or do these sites show the very dumbest side of humanity?!

IT'S ON.

Psst, new readers: On Fridays, the newsletter takes a slightly different form! I put together a little ebook of reads from the week to help you catch-up and/or unplug.) You can download this week's round-up of digital culture #longreads as ~an ebook here~, OR you can click directly into the links that strike your fancy. In either case, your regularly scheduled Links will be back Monday!
