• The Missourian town which was overrun by deadly cobras [29 minutes]
• If “American Idiot” was a bro-country song — truly, truly cursed in the best way
• The Ordnance Survey’s favourite maps of 2021 — some good taste from the boys in the newsroom
• The quest for an artificial womb
• Books set in hyperbolic space, where parallel lines curve away and never meet back up
• The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art, & Natural History, a division of the Last Tuesday Society — straight onto the bucket list
• Bin∞cular shot — a gallery of inaccurate binocular shots in films. Once you see it, you can never unsee it
