  1. \u201cMe too\u201d social sci\u00adence is not fight\u00ading inequal\u00adi\u00adty<\/span><\/a> (Kevin T. Leicht, Work in Progress): an arti\u00adcle about how aca\u00add\u00ade\u00admics can improve soci\u00adety. The author is a soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgist at the Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty of Illi\u00adnois Urbana-Cham\u00adpaign.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. U.S. inves\u00adti\u00adgat\u00ading poten\u00adtial covert Russ\u00adian plan to dis\u00adrupt Novem\u00adber elec\u00adtions<\/span><\/a> (<\/span>Dana Priest, Ellen Nakashima and Tom Ham\u00adburg\u00ader<\/span>, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): \u201cU.S. intel\u00adli\u00adgence and law enforce\u00adment agen\u00adcies are inves\u00adti\u00adgat\u00ading what they see as a broad covert Russ\u00adian oper\u00ada\u00adtion in the Unit\u00aded States to sow pub\u00adlic dis\u00adtrust in the upcom\u00ading pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adtial elec\u00adtion and in U.S. polit\u00adi\u00adcal insti\u00adtu\u00adtions, intel\u00adli\u00adgence and con\u00adgres\u00adsion\u00adal offi\u00adcials said.\u201d The 2016 elec\u00adtions will make an amaz\u00ading tele\u00advi\u00adsion series a gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion from now. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Idle Army: America\u2019s Unwork\u00ading Men<\/span><\/a> (Nico\u00adlas Eber\u00adstadt, Wall Street Jour\u00adnal): the author doesn\u2019t say it here, but video games and pornog\u00adra\u00adphy are huge enablers of this phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adnon. This is one of those trends that every\u00adone will be talk\u00ading about in 10\u201315 years.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. You are not your brain: Why a head trans\u00adplant is not what you think it is<\/span><\/a> (Charles Camosy, Reli\u00adgion News Ser\u00advice): this was mind-blow\u00ading. Pun intend\u00aded. With me, the pun is always intend\u00aded.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. How A Cake\u00admak\u00ader Became An Ene\u00admy Of The State<\/span><\/a> (David Harsyani, The Fed\u00ader\u00adal\u00adist): \u201c<\/span>Chris\u00adtians are reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly com\u00adpared to South\u00adern seg\u00adre\u00adga\u00adtion\u00adists and racists, when in real\u00adi\u00adty the com\u00adpar\u00adi\u00adson is best reversed. Yes, the pow\u00ader of Jim Crow reflect\u00aded pop\u00adu\u00adlar will, but it was sanc\u00adtioned by the state. The Col\u00adorado Civ\u00adil Rights Com\u00admis\u00adsion is sim\u00adi\u00adlar\u00adly empow\u00adered by the state to use its arbi\u00adtrary pow\u00ader to destroy the rep\u00adu\u00adta\u00adtions, busi\u00adness\u00ades, and lives of those who hap\u00adpen to offend their sen\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties.\u201d See also <\/span>the alarm\u00ading com\u00adments of the US Com\u00admis\u00adsion on Civ\u00adil Rights Chair\u00adman<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Reverse Voxs\u00adplain\u00ading: Drugs vs. Chairs<\/span><\/a> (Slat\u00adeStar\u00adCodex, the author is a doc\u00adtor who writes under pseu\u00addo\u00adnym). This was a stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading piece about the EpiPen con\u00adtro\u00adver\u00adsy to which <\/span>Vox had a rejoin\u00adder<\/span><\/a> to which <\/span>the author offered a sur\u00adre\u00adjoin\u00adder<\/a>.<\/span>  Infor\u00adma\u00adtive and full of provoca\u00adtive state\u00adments such as \u201c<\/span>pre\u00adscrip\u00adtion drug price reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion would cost one bil\u00adlion life-years, which would very slight\u00adly edge out Com\u00admu\u00adnist Chi\u00adna for the title of Worst Thing Ever.\u201d For an inter\u00adest\u00ading unre\u00adlat\u00aded-yet-relat\u00aded com\u00adpan\u00adion piece, see the brief Two \u201cThe Rest of the Sto\u00adry\u201d Sto\u00adries<\/a> (Alex Tab\u00adbarok, Mar\u00adgin\u00adal Rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion).<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. What Does The Bible Say About Trans\u00adgen\u00adderism?<\/span><\/a> (Kevin DeY\u00adoung., Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201cWe under\u00adstand that fol\u00adlow\u00ading Christ means dying to our\u00adselves (Matt. 16:24), being renewed in our minds (Rom. 12:2), and no longer walk\u00ading as we once did (Eph. 4:17\u201318). Being \u2018true to our\u00adselves\u2019 is always a false choice when it means going against God\u2019s Word.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Porn Is Bad<\/a> (Pas\u00adcal-Emmanuel Gob\u00adry, The Week): \u201c<\/span>It took decades to rec\u00adog\u00adnize smok\u00ading for the pub\u00adlic health dis\u00adas\u00adter that it is, and to final\u00adly get a grip on it soci\u00adetal\u00adly. Although porn does\u00adn\u2019t cause can\u00adcer, there\u2019s good evi\u00addence that it does destroy lives and fam\u00adi\u00adlies.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
