Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. The Revolt of the Fem\u00adi\u00adnist Law Profs<\/a> (Wes\u00adley Yang, Chron\u00adi\u00adcle of High\u00ader Edu\u00adca\u00adtion): \u201cThe sex bureau\u00adcra\u00adcy, in oth\u00ader words, piv\u00adot\u00aded from pun\u00adish\u00ading sex\u00adu\u00adal vio\u00adlence to impos\u00ading a nor\u00adma\u00adtive vision of ide\u00adal sex, to which stu\u00addents are held admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtive\u00adly account\u00adable.\u201d This is a very good piece.<\/li>
  2. Skillet\u2019s John Coop\u00ader on Apos\u00adta\u00adsy Among Young Chris\u00adt\u00adian Lead\u00aders<\/a> (George Brahm, Cogent Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty: \u201cI\u2019ve been say\u00ading for 20 years (and seemed prob\u00ada\u00adbly quite judg\u00admen\u00adtal to some of my peers) that we are in a dan\u00adger\u00adous place when the church is look\u00ading to 20 year old wor\u00adship singers as our source of truth. We now have a church cul\u00adture that learns who God is from singing mod\u00adern praise songs rather than from the teach\u00adings of the Word.\u201d<\/li>
  3. Jef\u00adfrey Epstein and When to Take Con\u00adspir\u00ada\u00adcies Seri\u00adous\u00adly<\/a> (Ross Douthat, New York Times): \u201cMost con\u00adspir\u00ada\u00adcy the\u00ado\u00adries are false. But often some of the things they\u2019re try\u00ading to explain are real.\u201d Refresh\u00ading san\u00adi\u00adty.<\/li>
  4. Depor\u00adta\u00adtion of a Chaldean Chris\u00adt\u00adian to Iraq, and where he died, gets some decent cov\u00ader\u00adage<\/a> (Julia Duin, GetRe\u00adli\u00adgion): \u201cThe more you look into this sto\u00adry, the more dis\u00adturb\u00ading it gets. Mindy Belz, report\u00ading for World, wrote that a third coun\u00adtry had offered to take Aldaoud but that U.S. immi\u00adgra\u00adtion author\u00adi\u00adties refused. Putting him on a plane to Najaf was an inten\u00adtion\u00adal twist of cru\u00adel\u00adty. Appar\u00adent\u00adly, it was not an acci\u00addent that he was sent there instead of Bagh\u00addad.\u201d<\/li>
  5. The Last Days of John Allen Chau<\/a> (Alex Per\u00adry, Out\u00adside Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201c.\u2026to those who know the tribes best, John\u2019s mis\u00adsion did not spell the end of the Sen\u00adtine\u00adlese. To them, he rep\u00adre\u00adsent\u00aded a pos\u00adsi\u00adble means of sur\u00advival.\u201c Chi Alpha makes an appear\u00adance in this arti\u00adcle. Relat\u00aded links back in vol\u00adumes 179 <\/a>and 180<\/a>.<\/li>
  6. Jeff Bezos is qui\u00adet\u00adly let\u00adting his char\u00adi\u00adties do some\u00adthing rad\u00adi\u00adcal \u2014 what\u00adev\u00ader they want<\/a> (Theodore Schleifer, Vox Recode): \u201cGiv\u00ading $100 mil\u00adlion to non\u00adprof\u00adits based on lit\u00adtle pro\u00advid\u00aded infor\u00adma\u00adtion and then let\u00adting them run with it sounds, on its face, like a recipe for dis\u00adas\u00adter. It con\u00adjures the image of fat-and-hap\u00adpy char\u00adi\u00adty lead\u00aders milk\u00ading extrav\u00ada\u00adgant salaries from oth\u00aders\u2019 gen\u00aderos\u00adi\u00adty, or prof\u00adli\u00adgate spend\u00ading on extra\u00adne\u00adous over\u00adhead \u2014 or even out\u00adright fraud\u2026. Well, here\u2019s the sur\u00adprise: Mul\u00adti\u00adple experts told Recode this strat\u00ade\u00adgy actu\u00adal\u00adly makes a lot of sense. They think phil\u00adan\u00adthropies should give non\u00adprof\u00adits sub\u00adstan\u00adtial\u00adly more lee\u00adway.\u201d\n

    1. Related(ish): Mis\u00adsion\u00adal Mis\u00adcon\u00adcep\u00adtion #1 (Sup\u00adport Fig\u00adures)<\/a> (Seth Calla\u00adhan, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cIf the [Post Office] were a non-prof\u00adit, faith-based orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion, with all of their employ\u00adees being respon\u00adsi\u00adble to cov\u00ader their own oper\u00adat\u00ading costs\u2026 then each employ\u00adee would need to have a month\u00adly sup\u00adport lev\u00adel of $11,837.69. That fig\u00adure does not rep\u00adre\u00adsent what your mail\u00adman gets PAID, mind you. It is how much it COSTS for your mail\u00adman to per\u00adform the ser\u00advices that are required of him: trans\u00adporta\u00adtion and stor\u00adage of goods, pack\u00ading sup\u00adplies, vehi\u00adcle main\u00adte\u00adnance, health\u00adcare, retire\u00adment, social security\u2026etc. His take-home pay (what he lives off of) is a small per\u00adcent\u00adage of those oper\u00adat\u00ading costs.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>
    2. The Reli\u00adgious Hunger of the Rad\u00adi\u00adcal Right<\/a> (Tara Isabel\u00adla Bur\u00adton, New York Times): \u201cUnlike Islamist jihadists, the online com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties of incels, white suprema\u00adcists and anti-Semit\u00adic con\u00adspir\u00ada\u00adcy the\u00ado\u00adrists make no meta\u00adphys\u00adi\u00adcal truth claims, do not focus on God and offer no promise of an after\u00adlife or reward. But they ful\u00adfill the func\u00adtions that soci\u00adol\u00ado\u00adgists gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly attribute to a reli\u00adgion: They give their mem\u00adbers a mean\u00ading\u00adful account of why the world is the way it is.\u201d <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
