Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. First Dinosaur Tail Found Pre\u00adserved In Amber<\/span><\/a> (Kristin Romey, Nation\u00adal Geo\u00adgraph\u00adic): this is awe\u00adsome. And yo, it\u2019s got feath\u00aders. Feath\u00aders! I\u2019ve heard for years that dinosaurs like\u00adly had feath\u00aders, but see\u00ading them is super-cool. Quick, some\u00adone redo the CGI in Juras\u00adsic Park.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Requiem For A Despot<\/span><\/a> (Car\u00adlos Eire, First Things): some of you have asked what I thought of Fidel Cas\u00adtro. This sums it up well. He was a car\u00adtoon\u00adish\u00adly wicked man. The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor of his\u00adto\u00adry at Yale.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The Neces\u00adsi\u00adty Of Cred\u00adi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty<\/span><\/a> (Nathan J. Robin\u00adson, Cur\u00adrent Affairs): \u201c<\/span>Cur\u00adrent\u00adly, peo\u00adple don\u2019t trust the main\u00adstream media. And the first thing the media must do is acknowl\u00adedge that part of that mis\u00adtrust is <\/span>entire\u00adly ratio\u00adnal and rea\u00adson\u00adable<\/span><\/i>\u201d (empha\u00adsis in orig\u00adi\u00adnal). An insight\u00adful cri\u00adtique of the media from the left. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. The Media Kow\u00adtow<\/span><\/a> (Mark Hem\u00ading\u00adway, The Week\u00adly Stan\u00addard): this is an old\u00ader piece but still very rel\u00ade\u00advant.  \u201cFor the last sev\u00ader\u00adal years, a huge\u00adly influ\u00aden\u00adtial por\u00adtion of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan media has vac\u00adil\u00adlat\u00aded between open\u00adly admir\u00ading the Chi\u00adnese gov\u00adern\u00adment and pro\u00advid\u00ading a forum for its apol\u00ado\u00adgists.\u201d With that in mind, read this \u2014 <\/span>Tsai calls Trump, World Com\u00admen\u00adtari\u00adat IQ drops 50 points<\/span><\/a> (Michael Tur\u00adton, per\u00adson\u00adal blog). The author lives in Tai\u00adwan and has a unique per\u00adspec\u00adtive. <\/span>His fol\u00adlow-up<\/span><\/a> is also worth read\u00ading. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Sev\u00aden Rea\u00adsons You Should Not Indulge In Pornog\u00adra\u00adphy<\/span><\/a> (Andy Nasel\u00adli, Theme\u00adlios): \u201c<\/span>You should not indulge in pornog\u00adra\u00adphy for at least sev\u00aden rea\u00adsons: (1) It will send you to hell. (2) It does not glo\u00adri\u00adfy God with your body. (3) It is a poi\u00adso\u00adnous, fleet\u00ading plea\u00adsure. (4) It fool\u00adish\u00adly wastes your life. (5) It betrays your wife and chil\u00addren. (6) It ruins your mind and con\u00adscience. (7) It par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpates in sex slav\u00adery.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n

    Jen Hat\u00admak\u00ader: Hermeneu\u00adtics, Hurt, and Human Affec\u00adtion<\/a> (Joe Dal\u00adlas, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): the fol\u00adlow-up<\/a> con\u00adtains this nugget, \u201cGen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly, when you feel right about your\u00adself, you can live with some\u00adone else\u2019s dis\u00adagree\u00adment or dis\u00adap\u00adproval. You may not like them say\u00ading you\u2019re wrong, but you don\u2019t feel a need to pre\u00advent them from doing so.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. Con\u00adtra Robin\u00adson on School\u00ading<\/span><\/a> (Slate Star Codex): like all Slate Star Codex arti\u00adcles, this is long, thought\u00adful, and well-researched. The <\/span>fol\u00adlow-up post<\/span><\/a> is extreme\u00adly infor\u00adma\u00adtive. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
