Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. The Cross and the Machine<\/a> (Paul Kingsnorth, First Things): \u201cIt kept hap\u00adpen\u00ading, for months. Christ to the left of me, Christ to the right. It was unnerv\u00ading. I turned away again and again, but every time I looked back, he was still there. I began to feel I was being \u2026 hunt\u00aded? I want\u00aded it to stop; at least, I thought I did. I had no inter\u00adest in Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty. I was a witch! A Zen witch, in fact, which I thought sound\u00aded pret\u00adty damned edgy. But I knew who was after me, and I knew it wasn\u2019t over.\u201d A won\u00adder\u00adful\u00adly-told con\u00adver\u00adsion sto\u00adry.<\/li>
  2. Why We Should Read What We Cite (Because It Mat\u00adters)<\/a> (Joseph Lath\u00adam & Gilly Koritzky, Het\u00adero\u00addox Acad\u00ade\u00admy): \u201cCon\u00adsid\u00ader an aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic arti\u00adcle that came out at the height of the COVID-19 pan\u00addem\u00adic and argues that doc\u00adtors\u2019 racist bias\u00ades are a main rea\u00adson for the high\u00ader COVID-19-relat\u00aded hos\u00adpi\u00adtal\u00adiza\u00adtion and mor\u00adtal\u00adi\u00adty rates among African Amer\u00adi\u00adcans. It says that \u2018there is evi\u00addence of med\u00adical bias in the test\u00ading and treat\u00adment of African-Amer\u00adi\u00adcans with COVID-19\u2019 and cites this report as the source. The prob\u00adlem? The report con\u00adtains no such evi\u00addence.\u201d The excerpt does not do it jus\u00adtice. High\u00adly rec\u00adom\u00admend\u00aded. The authors are psy\u00adchol\u00ado\u00adgists.<\/li>
  3. How We Got to the Equal\u00adi\u00adty Act<\/a> (Matthew Lee Ander\u00adson, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): \u201cThe sto\u00adry that evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals are (mere\u00adly) vic\u00adtims of pro\u00adgres\u00adsive aggres\u00adsors not only fails to account for the ways in which the LGBT move\u00adment was shaped by pop\u00adulist evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal rhetoric and tac\u00adtics. It also for\u00adgets that the gay lib\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion move\u00adment was a direct response to the sys\u00adtemic and per\u00adva\u00adsive exclu\u00adsion of les\u00adbian and gay indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals from the struc\u00adtures of our pub\u00adlic life\u2014including from Amer\u00adi\u00adca itself. Per\u00adfec\u00adtion\u00adism in pol\u00adi\u00adtics breeds rad\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adism in response.\u201d<\/li>
  4. When a Famous Lit\u00ader\u00adary Crit\u00adic Unrav\u00adeled Sil\u00adi\u00adcon Valley\u2019s Most Sen\u00adsa\u00adtion\u00adal Mur\u00adder Case<\/a> (Ted Gioia, Sub\u00adstack): \u201cImag\u00adine a vio\u00adlent mur\u00adder at the epi\u00adcen\u00adter of ear\u00adly San\u00adta Clara Valley\u2014soon to be renamed Sil\u00adi\u00adcon Val\u00adley in the pop\u00adu\u00adlar imagination\u2014and an inno\u00adcent man sent to Death Row at San Quentin. But a famous lit\u00ader\u00adary crit\u00adic emerges as the super sleuth who gets him freed, amid dark evo\u00adca\u00adtions of scan\u00addal involv\u00ading cor\u00adrupt politi\u00adcians and murky under\u00adworld fig\u00adures. You don\u2019t need to imag\u00adine it, because it real\u00adly hap\u00adpened.\u201d A engross\u00ading Stan\u00adford sto\u00adry.<\/li>
  5. About the cur\u00adrent con\u00adflict in Israel:
