<\/a> On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources about broad cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom. I wel\u00adcome your sug\u00adges\u00adtions. If you read some\u00adthing fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading please pass it my way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is vol\u00adume 291, which is not a very inter\u00adest\u00ading num\u00adber. It\u2019s 3 \u00c2\u00b7 97, which I guess is some\u00adthing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Inside Xinjiang\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Prison State<\/a> (Ben Mauk, New York\u00ader): \u201cOn his sec\u00adond day of deten\u00adtion, a mem\u00adber of the camp admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtion came to see him. Kok\u00adteubai asked when he would learn what he was accused of doing. He was sur\u00adprised to learn that he wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be ques\u00adtioned at all. \u2018If you hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t com\u00admit\u00adted a crime, you wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have end\u00aded up here,\u2019 the admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtor told him. \u2018So there is some\u00adthing you are here for.\u2019 \u201d The graph\u00adics inter\u00adfere with the read\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence, but it\u2019s worth\u00adwhile.<\/li>
  2. On The Expe\u00adri\u00adence of Being Poor-ish, For Peo\u00adple Who Aren\u2019t<\/a> (Anony\u00admous, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cWhen some\u00adone is telling me they are or have been poor and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m try\u00ading to deter\u00admine how poor exact\u00adly<\/em> they were, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one ever\u00adgreen ques\u00adtion I ask that has nev\u00ader failed to give me a good idea of what kind of sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m deal\u00ading with. That ques\u00adtion is: \u2018How many times have they turned off your water?\u2019.\u201d Fol\u00adlow up: Being Poor-ish Revis\u00adit\u00aded: Read\u00ader Ques\u00adtions<\/a> These are both real\u00adly good.<\/li>
  3. David Shor on Why Trump Was Good for the GOP and How Dems Can Win in 2022<\/a> (Eric Levitz, New York Mag\u00ada\u00adzine): \u201cBut when I look at the 2020 elec\u00adtion, I see that we ran against the most unpop\u00adu\u00adlar Repub\u00adli\u00adcan ever to run for pres\u00adi\u00addent \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and we ran lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly the most pop\u00adu\u00adlar fig\u00adure in our par\u00adty whose last name is not Oba\u00adma \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and we only nar\u00adrow\u00adly won the Elec\u00adtoral Col\u00adlege. If Biden had done 0.3 per\u00adcent worse, then Don\u00adald Trump would have won reelec\u00adtion\u2026\u201d This is extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnar\u00adi\u00adly fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading in a very non\u00adpar\u00adti\u00adsan way (although the inter\u00advie\u00adwee is extreme\u00adly par\u00adti\u00adsan).<\/li>
