Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Today Is 101010: The Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question [42]: Jesus Diaz<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Rightwing Violence? It Surely Can\u2019t Be Obama Haters\u2019 Fault<\/a> – “Words matter. I don\u2019t ask everyone to love the current President, just take responsibility the rhetoric about him a bit. Sometimes, people act on what you say even if you didn\u2019t mean for them to.”<\/li>\n
  3. Superman’s social media nightmare.<\/a> – Great Scott!<\/li>\n
  4. Economic View – Higher Taxes Mean I\u2019ll Work Less – NYTimes.com<\/a> – If I read this gentleman correctly, he seems to be painting a false division between, on the one hand, the only tax in the land being the Bush-era income tax, and the alternative being the trivially greater marginal tax rate on his income plus every other tax that every other person he interacts with pays. That strikes me as … disingenuous from a Harvard economics professor.<\/li>\n
  5. Woman Chronicles Her Life from Ages 16-88 in Shooting Gallery Photos<\/a> – That’s wonderful.<\/li>\n
  6. Sleep in spite of everything<\/a> – Kitty!<\/li>\n
  7. Work Space Aquarium<\/a> – That’s awesome.<\/li>\n
  8. Google and TU Braunschweig independently develop self-driving cars (video) — Engadget<\/a> – That’s fascinating. But it will take more than eight years of development to convince me of the safety of these things. I’ve worked with far too many computers …<\/li>\n
  9. Behind the Chicken Goop: The Truth and Science of Chicken Nuggets [Video]<\/a> – “”If we’re going to kill an animal for food, we’re obligated to use the whole thing.” An interesting thought, and an article worth reading.<\/li>\n
  10. Ever Have One Of Those Days?<\/a> – To quote Neil Gaiman: “You ask, What makes it worth defending? and the only answer I can give is this: Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you\u2019re going to have to stand up for stuff you don\u2019t believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don\u2019t, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person\u2019s obscenity is another person\u2019s art. Because if you don\u2019t stand up for the stuff you don\u2019t like, when they come for the stuff you do like, you\u2019ve already lost.”<\/li>\n
  11. Warner Bros. Kills Plans to Release \u2018Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I\u2019 in 3D (Huzzah!)<\/a> – Glad to hear it. Post-production 3D has been very mixed, to say the least. There’s enough time, in theory, to do Part 2 that way and do a decent job of it.<\/li>\n
  12. TV LogoMania!<\/a> – That’s very cool.<\/li>\n
  13. Some Perspective on Park51<\/a> – And for those who suggest that “Well, there are real Muslim threats against the populace in 2010, but the Catholics weren’t engaging in plots,” consider the Catholic-Protestant wars in Europe and, particularly, in England, and how bloody suppression of one side or the other had a long, awful history there. There was plenty of “justification” for the protesters in 1806 to grab onto.<\/li>\n
  14. Stevens: Campaign money is \u201csimply not speech\u201d<\/a> – I’m not sure I agree that money (or spending) cannot be construed as speech. But I do agree that corporations do not have personal rights the same as you or I do.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
