  1. Trevor Responds To Crit\u00adi\u00adcism From The French Ambas\u00adsador<\/a> (Trevor Noah, YouTube): this is a wit\u00adty and insight\u00adful 8 minute reflec\u00adtion on the inter\u00adplay between eth\u00adnic her\u00aditage and nation\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty and the ways that Amer\u00adi\u00adcans process things dif\u00adfer\u00adent\u00adly than the French.<\/li>\n
  2. The New York Yan\u00adkees Are A Moral Abom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion<\/a> (David Bent\u00adley Hart, New York Times): \u201cReal\u00adly, how does a Yan\u00adkees fan\u2019s pride in all those pur\u00adchased cham\u00adpi\u00adonships dif\u00adfer from the self-delu\u00adsion of a man stag\u00adger\u00ading out of a bawdy house at dawn, com\u00adpli\u00adment\u00ading him\u00adself on his mag\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcent pow\u00aders of seduc\u00adtion?\u201d A fun\u00adny piece of cul\u00adtur\u00adal com\u00admen\u00adtary in the New York Times writ\u00adten by a the\u00adolo\u00adgian? Yes, please. This col\u00adumn is about way more than base\u00adball.<\/li>\n
  3. Uncom\u00adfort\u00adable Ques\u00adtions in the Wake of Rus\u00adsia Indict\u00adment 2.0 and Trump\u2019s Press Con\u00adfer\u00adence With Putin<\/a> (Jack Gold\u00adsmith, Law\u00adfare): \u201cIt is no response to say that the Unit\u00aded States doesn\u2019t med\u00addle in for\u00adeign elec\u00adtions, because it has in the past\u2014at least as recent\u00adly as Bill Clinton\u2019s inter\u00adven\u00adtion in the Russ\u00adian pres\u00adi\u00adden\u00adtial elec\u00adtion of 1996 and pos\u00adsi\u00adbly as recent\u00adly as the Hillary Clin\u00adton State Department\u2019s alleged inter\u00adven\u00adtion in Russia\u2019s 2011 leg\u00adisla\u00adtive elec\u00adtions. And dur\u00ading the Cold War the Unit\u00aded States inter\u00advened in numer\u00adous for\u00adeign elec\u00adtions, more than twice as often as the Sovi\u00adet Union.\u201d The author is a pro\u00adfes\u00adsor at Har\u00advard Law School. The whole thing is fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading.<\/li>\n
  4. Free Speech, Cen\u00adsor\u00adship, Hate Speech, Twit\u00adter<\/a> (Steven Brust, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cHere\u2019s the thing: every defense, every anal\u00ado\u00adgy I\u2019ve seen to jus\u00adti\u00adfy ask\u00ading twit\u00adter to shut down hate speech, has come down, in the last analy\u00adsis, to a defense of prop\u00ader\u00adty rights. And yet, the most casu\u00adal obser\u00adva\u00adtion ought to tell you that we are now locked in a bat\u00adtle between prop\u00ader\u00adty rights and human rights. If you must resort to a defense of prop\u00ader\u00adty rights to bol\u00adster your argu\u00adment, I beg to sub\u00admit that you should either take anoth\u00ader look at what you\u2019re defend\u00ading, or stop call\u00ading your\u00adself a pro\u00adgres\u00adsive.\u201d A social\u00adist defense of free speech.\n
