Good morning and happy weekend! Whenever I type Saturday Links or Weekend Links or Some Links or whatever, I picture an actual lynx, with tufty ears. I’m like an old man who doesn’t understand internet words. Like so many of us who write about pleasurable or distracting things, I’ve been thinking about frivolity quite a lot.
