Morning Links for Dec. 11, 2015

What we’re reading on this Friday morning. A state lawmaker attempted to intervene at Lincoln Hills to prevent suspected abuse at the juvenile corrections facility. If you haven’t seen it yet, Washington Post did a longer story about police and homicides in Milwaukee. 150 ways to have a good old time in Milwaukee, in a sortable, siftable form. Interesting directorial tidbits from Ridley Scott, including that he borrowed Shining footage from Stanley Kubrick to end Blade Runner. We interviewed the first A.I. to “pass” the Turing Test. Now another machine may have beaten it, in another form.
