Right, then - 22 March 2011
Mar. 23rd, 2011 10:30 amGreetings, people of importance, people of interest, and people who just like seeing the spectacle. Today we start with a call for submissions to Bodies of Work, which hopes to showcase material from the "transsexual, transgender and gender-variant international community".
We continue with a plea to not use the language of insanity or neuroatypicalness when dsecribing people who do acts of harm, especially those who seem fully competent when they do them.
The triple of this idea a statement as to why someone is a feminist - because they believe that men are better than their reputation and the society that lets them be ill-behaved.
All of these things are complemented by a list of 101 discussions in important issues surrounding life, literature, and the culture surrounding you.
Elsewhere, coalition attacks continued against Libyan targets as rebel forces moved to a more aggressive position, using the coalition forces as support.
Out in the world today, the deployed paywall for the New York Times in Canada...isn't exactly that hard to circumvent. What the article is really great for, though, is analyzing how deliberate a decision like this might be and whether the NYT has calibrated their holes properly so that they get the right amount of revenue from the subscribers and the right amount of revenue from the ad sales and everybody's happy with easy access.
The president of Afghanistan said that his forces would take control of seven areas and provide security for them. This continues even as serious doubts remain about the ability and effectiveness of this transistion on both sides of the equation.
The publication of photographs showing United States soldiers posing with the corpse of an Afghan man has the United States army apologizing, having already court-martialed the soldiers in the photos.
Finally, the address by the United States President to the Iranian people on the occasion of the Persian New Year had significantly more bite to it than the more pleasany address of two years ago.
Domestically, Mr. Matloff suggests that the continued presence of immigrant workers and students in the pure sciences, engineering, and technologies is discouraging and displacing many United States students and workers from even trying to get into that field.
In tech, the manner in which you can disable the geolocation features built into your web browsers, so that agents and other entities cannot pinpoint as easily where you are connecting from.
Additionally, How Facebook's Like This button is tracking user data all over the freaking web, even if someone doesn't actually have a Facebook account.
In opinions, why movies that are all about the one teacher who makes a difference are hurting the education profession a lot, by making teachers out to be saints and martyrs, whose altruism shines so brightly that they'll willingly work with piss-poor wages, dicks for administrators, parents, co-workers, and students just for the chance to INSPIRE! one student to do better than the system would normally do for them.
Mr. Carafano says that United States involvement in Libya should be strictly limited, as there's no reason to invade there more fully, unlike Iraq and Afghanistan. He also mentions in his last paragraph what the WSJ gives fuller voice to - that because the President is willing to let other nations lead this affair, not only will the United States lose prestige and look absent in the affair, the objectives won't be limited in scope or achieved.
Mr. Crimi joins the camp that says Iran will be the biggest beneficiary of the current unrest in the Middle East, as they move material and ships into position with which to attack Israel. Claims Iran denies, but we're supposed to dismiss them out of hand because Iran Are Terrorists and always have been since 1979. The second part of Mr. Walsh's explanation details all that firepower, directly and through their proxies, that Iran can bear on their neighbors to bend them to their will. Assuming the allies and proxies are actually willing to go along with Iran on things.
Finally, the possibility that the ancient Hebrew religion was G-d and His Wife, rather than the single male deity doing all the creation himself. It does make sense for there to be a Divine Male and Divine Female together. And then, a letter written by Excelsior himself after a reader tried to take advantage of a very old offer that he would review a comic work for a pittance of a fee.
