  1. Most thieves make almost no money<\/a> and are teens going through a phase. Also, for those under 24, being poor doesn’t make being a thief more likely.<\/li>\n
  2. Sword-wielding woman uses medieval combat skills to stop intruder<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Against Against Autism Cures | Slate Star Codex<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Read 2015 Nobel Economics Prize winner Angus Deaton’s take on inequality – Vox<\/a>. “Why income inequality in society as a whole is a threat to democracy \u2014 and why worrying about it isn’t just class warfare or resentment.”<\/li>\n
  5. A 58-Year-Old Black Man Reflects on the Death Around Him: <\/a>Conflicted thoughts about how to stop crime, advance equality and save lives. I don’t agree with everything in this article – in fact, I think there’s a lot here that the more conservative readers of “Alas” will agree with – but it’s certainly tremendously interesting.<\/li>\n
  6. The Debate Link: Two Types of Microaggressions and a Comment on Epistemic Injustice<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. A vine of 17 hours of my friend Matt Bogart drawing comics in like 30 seconds<\/a>. My favorite thing about this is that his girlfriend did a little cat animation by projecting pictures onto the wall behind Matt. You can read the comic Matt drew here<\/a>.<\/li>\n

  12. Hispanic Coalition, MoveOn.org Petition Call for Trump\u2019s Removal as SNL Host | Mediaite<\/a> Eh. Obviously people have a free-speech right to object to SNL’s choice of hosts. But I think they’re wrong. Like it or not, Trump is an entertaining public figure who is important to current headlines (although I don’t expect he’ll have any lasting relevance), which makes him exactly the sort of politician SNL invites. And the impulse to try and keep opposing public figures from having access to mass media, while understandable, is wrong.<\/li>\n
