Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. A Mil\u00adlion Peo\u00adple Are Jailed at Chi\u00adna\u2019s Gulags. I Man\u00adaged to Escape. Here\u2019s What Real\u00adly Goes on Inside<\/a> (David Stavrou, Ha Aretz): \u201cTor\u00adture \u2013 met\u00adal nails, fin\u00adger\u00adnails pulled out, elec\u00adtric shocks \u2013 takes place in the \u2018black room.\u2019 Pun\u00adish\u00adment is a con\u00adstant. The pris\u00adon\u00aders are forced to take pills and get injec\u00adtions. It\u2019s for dis\u00adease pre\u00adven\u00adtion, the staff tell them, but in real\u00adi\u00adty they are the human sub\u00adjects of med\u00adical exper\u00adi\u00adments. Many of the inmates suf\u00adfer from cog\u00adni\u00adtive decline. Some of the men become ster\u00adile. Women are rou\u00adtine\u00adly raped.\u201d This is one of the worst things hap\u00adpen\u00ading in the world right now, and that is say\u00ading some\u00adthing since \u2018glob\u00adal hor\u00adrors\u2019 is a fright\u00aden\u00ading\u00adly com\u00adpet\u00adi\u00adtive cat\u00ade\u00adgo\u00adry.<\/li>
  2. Stan\u00adford fails its Jew\u00adish com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty<\/a> (Sarah Myers, Stan\u00adford Dai\u00adly): \u201cThis year, class\u00ades were held on both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kip\u00adpur. These hol\u00adi\u00addays are the High Holy Days of Judaism, so-called because they are the holi\u00adest days of the year for Judaism. Rosh Hashanah lasts two days and Yom Kip\u00adpur one. Many Jews attend ser\u00advices for most of the day on these hol\u00adi\u00addays. Fast\u00ading is con\u00adsid\u00adered a key part of observ\u00ading Yom Kip\u00adpur. Yet, Stan\u00adford decid\u00aded that class\u00ades would be held, and pro\u00adfes\u00adsors would be free to cre\u00adate assign\u00adments with no regard for stu\u00addents observ\u00ading these days.\u201d<\/li>
  3. Black Bap\u00adtist church shaped Cum\u00admings\u2019 com\u00admit\u00adment<\/a> (Jeff Karoub, AP News): \u201cTo many black cler\u00adgy, Mary\u00adland Rep. Eli\u00adjah E. Cum\u00admings was more than a for\u00admi\u00adda\u00adble ora\u00adtor, civ\u00adil rights cham\u00adpi\u00adon and pas\u00adsion\u00adate pub\u00adlic ser\u00advant, he was also one of them \u2014 in prac\u00adtice, if not pro\u00adfes\u00adsion.\u201d<\/li>
  4. How To Ask Your Men\u00adtors For Help<\/a> (Derek Sivers): this is super-short and very good. Excerpt\u00ading it would ruin it. Read the whole thing.<\/li>
  5. The Codev\u00adil\u00adla Tapes<\/a> (David Samuels, Tablet Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cSamuels: \u2018Please remove me from temp\u00adta\u00adtion, said no one, ever.\u2019 \u201cCodev\u00adil\u00adla: \u2018Well as a mat\u00adter of fact, Chris\u00adtians do \u201clead us not into temp\u00adta\u00adtion\u201d all the time.\u2019 Samuels: \u2018You do say \u201clead us not into temp\u00adta\u00adtion,\u201d but I am not aware of the Chris\u00adt\u00adian prayer that says \u201cplease take away the choco\u00adlate cake while I\u2019m in the mid\u00addle of eat\u00ading it.\u201d\u2019 Codev\u00adil\u00adla: \u2018Well, St. Augus\u00adtine said exact\u00adly that, you know, \u201cLord make me pure, but not yet.\u201d\u2019 This is a super-long, wide-rang\u00ading inter\u00adview. It is full of fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading tid\u00adbits and will reward skim\u00adming.<\/li>
  6. On Mex\u00adi\u00adcan State Col\u00adlapse<\/a> (El Anti-Pozolero, a per\u00adson\u00adal blog): \u201cIt\u2019s an absolute\u00adly extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary episode even by the grim and bizarre annals of what we mis\u00adtak\u00aden\u00adly call the post-2006 Mex\u00adi\u00adcan Drug War. The Bat\u00adtle of Culi\u00adac\u00e1n stands on a lev\u00adel above, say, the Ayotz\u00adi\u00adna\u00adpa mas\u00adsacre, or the Zetas\u2019 expul\u00adsion of the entire pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of Ciu\u00addad Mier. Killing scores of inno\u00adcents and bru\u00adtal\u00adiz\u00ading small towns is one thing: seiz\u00ading region\u00adal cap\u00adi\u00adtal cities and crush\u00ading the nation\u00adal armed forces in open fight\u00ading in broad day\u00adlight is some\u00adthing else.\u201d
