    \n
  1. A discussion about what<\/a> a men’s movement that isn’t<\/em> horrible might look like. (I agree with some but not all of what’s written here.)<\/li>\n
  2. And, related: How to Do Men\u2019s Rights Rightly<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Is 90% of All EvoPsych False?<\/a> Richard Carrier criticizes evolutionary psychology in significant depth. Not a quick read, but a worthwhile one, and a link worth remembering next time evopsych (aka sociobiology) comes up.<\/li>\n
  4. The real-life election of 1800 was even wilder than Hamilton the musical lets on – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. This amazing mom updated her tattoo to reflect transgender teen’s transition – Gay Star News<\/a> Thanks for the link, Grace!<\/li>\n
  6. Ask Your 2016 Candidate These Questions on Drone Warfare – Defense One<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. Similarities between anti-gay and anti-sex work arguments | topherhallquist<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Donald Trump is getting all the press, but the Bernie Sanders movement is more important for the future – Vox<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  9. Yes, Donald Trump\u2019s dad really is the reason he\u2019s rich | topherhallquist<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. ECHIDNE OF THE SNAKES: Today’s Small Thought. On Class Privilege as an Example of Problems in the Privilege Concept.<\/a><\/li>\n
  11. Dilapidated Schools and Race – Lawyers, Guns & Money<\/a><\/li>\n
  12. An explanation of the climate deal (or sort of deal) in Paris – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. Is Corporate Media a danger to Society? Coverage of Trump v. Sanders | Informed Comment<\/a> I don’t agree with everything here. But that Sanders has as much support as Trump, but barely gets covered at all, is illustrative of how media coverage shapes the race.<\/li>\n
  14. The Crazy Story Of How “Clue” Went From Forgotten Flop To Cult Triumph<\/a> Madeline Kahn’s transcendent “flames, flames, flames<\/a> on the side of my face” moment is the only improvised bit in the entire movie.<\/li>\n
  15. Shutting Down Conversations About Rape at Harvard Law – The New Yorker<\/a> This criticism of the “I believe women” slogan, by a woman of color who is a Professor at Harvard, is a better-than-average member for its genre, because it doesn’t ignore the real reasons the slogan was created. I also liked The Unit of Caring<\/a>‘s critique of the same, because it’s nuanced and acknowledges competing needs.<\/li>\n
  16. “When did three or four twitter posts become<\/a> something to write a news article<\/a> about? We are rapidly reaching peak outrage culture.”<\/li>\n
  17. That town that rejected solar energy<\/a> is not as stupid as people are reporting.<\/li>\n

  20. Trumpeting The Right Not To Be Called A Bigot | Popehat<\/a><\/li>\n
  21. Job Sprawl – Lawyers, Guns & Money : Lawyers, Guns & Money<\/a><\/li>\n
  22. The Unit of Caring<\/a> “I think if she changed her communication style it\u2019d be way healthier for you, and for me. But maybe it\u2019d cost her more than we\u2019re anticipating, and there are other needs at play that are hard to quantify.”<\/li>\n
  23. Sentencing Law and Policy: “Negotiating Accuracy: DNA in the Age of Plea Bargaining”<\/a> False convictions and plea negotiations.<\/li>\n
  24. Laquan McDonald and The Corrupt System That Killed Him – The Atlantic<\/a><\/li>\n
  25. Randall Kennedy on race and racism at Harvard Law School (and elsewhere) – Lawyers, Guns & Money : Lawyers, Guns & Money<\/a>. Although I don’t disagree with Kennedy’s critique, I’m also not certain that anything new is going on on campus. Students seemed pretty similar to me when I went to college in the late 1980s; the difference is, we didn’t have social media making what we did and said accessible nationwide.<\/li>\n
  26. Posner v. The Arbitrary Abortion Obstacle Course – Lawyers, Guns & Money : Lawyers, Guns & Money<\/a><\/li>\n

  29. ECHIDNE OF THE SNAKES: The Global Gender Gap Report, 2015<\/a> The US ranked 28th (which is to say that, by the report’s measures, 27 countries did better than the US).<\/li>\n
  30. How America\u2019s rejection of Jews fleeing Nazi Germany haunts our refugee policy today – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  31. Copyright Is Abused to Censor Political Ads | Electronic Frontier Foundation<\/a><\/li>\n
  32. Kate Beaton on refusing to let women be forgotten and increasing audience diversity of a comic convention | Features | Culture | The Independent<\/a><\/li>\n
  33. Networks May Be Preparing To Wean Themselves Off \u201cPure Heroin\u201d Of Netflix Money \u2013 Consumerist<\/a>. Which is one reason Netflix has been moving so strongly into original content.<\/li>\n
  34. How a heroin epidemic among white Americans led to a softer war on drugs – Vox<\/a><\/li>\n
  35. Mein Copyright: Controversy Erupts Over The Reprinting Of Hitler\u2019s Infamous Work | JONATHAN TURLEY<\/a> Keeping Mein Kampf<\/em> unavailable isn\u2019t possible, because internet. But they might succeed in keeping annotated scholars version out of print. Keeping the responsible edition out of print means that the main copies available might be distributed and edited by modern-day Nazis; as a Jew, I don\u2019t feel it benefits me to have only antisemites editing and contextualizing Mein Kampf<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  36. More Evidence that Fat Stigma is Killing Us |<\/a> And, of course, the more that stigma makes fat people less healthy, the more that statistics show that being fat is unhealthy, which in turn is used to justify the stigma. (I’m not saying that there are no <\/em>health effects of fat aside from stigma. I am saying that stigma should be included as a contributing factor in studies of fat and health.)<\/li>\n
  37. 6 Experts on How Silicon Valley Can Solve Online Harassment | WIRED<\/a> “Solve” is hyperbole, but how to mitigate is still a worthwhile discussion to have. <\/li>\n
  38. “Cabinet Battle #1,” explained – Vox<\/a> An interesting article looking at the musical “Hamilton” in the context of changing understandings of US history.<\/li>\n
  39. Transit Infrastructure and the Temptations of Techno-Autocracy | Natasha Plotkin | The Hypocrite Reader<\/a> Why does it cost so much more to build a subway train in the USA than in Europe?<\/li>\n
  40. Why Richard Sander’s “mismatch” hypothesis is proved wrong by the evidence. (pdf link<\/a>). (Sanders argues that affirmative action causes minorities to do less well in college by putting underqualified students in colleges that are too hard for them.)<\/li>\n
  41. Smart People Saying Smart Things About The Abigail Fisher Affirmative Action Case | Alas, a Blog<\/a> This is a post I wrote in 2012, which is suddenly current again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
