  1. The Pencilsword: On a plate – The Wireless<\/a> Excellent cartoon by Aussie cartoonist Toby Morris, about how our birth (or, rather, who we’re born to) determines our life chances.<\/li>\n
  2. Lawsplainer: What the Supreme Court Didn’t Decide About True Threats in Elonis | Popehat<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. What would a reasonable religious freedom law look like? | Kelly Thinks Too Much<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. I’ve been gently arguing with some Sad Puppies about Ms Marvel (the hugo-nominated superhero graphic novel about a Mulsim teen who gains superpowers) on TL Knighton’s blog<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. My daughter dressed like Elsa from \u201cFrozen\u201d for 23 days \u2014 and it was amazing – Salon.com<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. The Columbia rape denialists are straight up conspiracy theorists<\/a> And, a related link: I Am Not a ‘Pretty Little Liar’<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Sorry, evolutionary psychology buffs. A new paper suggests that our caveman ancestors were egalitarian.<\/a> The title is an exaggeration, but there’s still stuff of interest here.<\/li>\n
  8. Tim Minchin – If I Didn’t Have You – Full Uncut Version – YouTube<\/a> I wish I <\/em>were married to Sarah Minchin.<\/li>\n
  9. The Bristol Board : Photo<\/a> I love this Pogo strip from 1959. I pretty much love it anytime a great cartoonist plays with word balloons.<\/li>\n
  10. My Cartoons At A May Day Festival In Israel!<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. Against Being Against Manspreading<\/a> The mostly feminist campaign against “manspreading” has led to fat-shaming and to giving police another excuse to harass minority men.<\/li>\n
  12. “States with the highest number of abortion restrictions have the poorest health outcomes and least supportive policies for women and children….” | Center for Reproductive Rights<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. Birth Control That Works Too Well | The Nation<\/a> “A Colorado program to give low-income teens long-acting contraception dropped the teen abortion rate dramatically. But conservatives refuse to fund it.”<\/li>\n
  14. Families don’t balance their budgets, and neither should the federal government – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. Snowden and the NSA – The Atlantic<\/a><\/li>\n
  16. All (hopefully) of the bad arguments about rape on Game of Thrones debunked<\/a>, and Another major character is raped on Game of Thrones. This time, it works for the story.<\/a>, both written by Amanda Marcotte. I’m sort of late on posting this, because I only just watched it, but I agree with most of Amanda’s take.<\/li>\n
  17. The forgotten history of how automakers invented the crime of “jaywalking” – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  18. I will have fedoras and never apologise to anyone | anthropolatry<\/a> From the title, I was expecting this post to be a defense of wearing fedoras – and yes, I realize that the hats people call fedoras are often actually trilbys – and a pushback against the practice of fashion-sneering at people who wear fedoras\/trilbys, and I clicked on it for that reason, because I loath fashion-sneering. But it’s actually about something else – arguing that people on all sides should be willing to give other people a break when they say something terrible in an angry rant – but I thought that was interesting, too.<\/li>\n
