“They just don’t name ‘em like they used to”. Another great yarn by @brianklaas open.substack.com/pub/brianklaas…
Come for the origin story of the name for Bluetooth and the insanely cool explanation for the logo…stay for one of the weirdest stories in English history about the scattered remains of King Cnut (with a little dose of Sweyn Forkbeard for good measure). forkingpaths.co/p/the-bluetoot…

@brianklaas This is a wonderful read! 👍💥 There are certain people that sincerely believe if they have a thought, it must be correct, and then perceive EVERYTHING from behind that veil of false perception.
@brianklaas @SaveRDemocrazy You had me at "octopus."
@brianklaas This is a fascinating article, one to read and re-read. Just to add a snippet: NPR had a nice piece on crow intelligence. Crows distinguish and remember individual human faces, even years later. They also hold funerals for their own. npr.org/2019/09/13/760…
