Link roundup

1. It's time to vote on Jerry Holkins's cosplay:

1. Bayonetta
2. Sailor Moon
3. The Fruit Fucker
4. Tycho
5. Yummy Chan

2. This article on the USA's transition from overwhelming decisive military action that doesn't achieve lasting goals, to an ongoing "invisible war" is fascinating, and was ungated when I read it this morning. If it's blocked, here's a summary.

3. Nightmare fuel. (But also very interesting about starfish.)

4. The Quantum Thief, which has been on my wishlist for quite awhile just dropped to $3, or 88% off at Amazon. Pretty regularly I view my wishlist by price to see if anything's been marked down.
