The United Arab Emirates #UAE is today probably more famous for its skyscrapers than for its deserts. Australian photographer Irenaeus Herok used his drone to show that the desert is still a huge part of the UAE. Source: https://t.co/9mCPs9aJ88 pic.twitter.com/Zae1ghyLSp

Their plot says it's just about amnesia. But everything about it screams a story about repressed trauma. Every memory you recover is something you'd want to forget

That "oh, a memory is coming back" piano sting just murders me every time. It means a gutpunch is coming every time

Link roundup

1. "'Defending Your Life' at 25: Albert Brooks on Making a Comedy Classic"

2. From 2010, "Amy Wallace survives a rare sparring session with Garry Shandling, the reclusive master of American comedy."

Garry Shandling was in 1A. Conan O'Brien and his family were three rows back. The two men are close friends, and their unexpected proximity made Shandling happy—so happy, he says, that he asked a flight attendant to deliver O'Brien a present. "Mr. Shandling can't finish his cookie, and he thought you might want to have the rest," the woman told O'Brien, presenting the crumb-littered plate.

3. Monkey hiding.

Link roundup

1. Cold case playing cards:

The playing card that set this chain of events in motion was produced as part of an experimental effort by Connecticut law enforcement agencies designed to generate leads in cold cases. Starting in 2010, the Department of Corrections has distributed thousands of these special decks to prisons throughout the state, with the hope that inmates will see them, experience a flash of recognition, and come forward with information.

2. "The TCJ 2015 Year-in-Review"

Lepore should have waited until the comic’s completion (which came in October 2015) before saying anything out loud about this comic book sold to the public on an installment basis at a cost of $3.99 per installment.

3. Firewatch wallpapers.

Link roundup

1. The ghost streets of Los Angeles:

That is, that someone's living room is actually shaped the way it is not because of something peculiar to architectural history, but because of a ghost street, or that the wall of maybe your very own bedroom takes its angle from a road that, for whatever reason, long ago disappeared.

2. Fallout 4 screens by Dead End Thrills.

3. Kate Beaton interview.
