The upshot: you should not assume I agree with every\u00adthing an author says in an arti\u00adcle I men\u00adtion, much less things the author has said in oth\u00ader arti\u00adcles (although if I strong\u00adly dis\u00adagree with some\u00adthing in the arti\u00adcle I\u2019ll usu\u00adal\u00adly men\u00adtion it).<\/p>\n<p>Also, remem\u00adber that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not report\u00ading news \u2014 I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m giv\u00ading you a selec\u00adtion of things I found inter\u00adest\u00ading.
