One thing I learned reading Chuck Wendig’s Blackbirds.
I’m aware of the official male position on shopping. We hate it. It is unmanly to enjoy browsing through any emporia of consumer goods and to delight in their variety, to revel in their diverse appeal, to admit their temptation to our sundry appetites and vanities.

Here are some facts about May Day from The Huffington Post— “Although it’s not recognized in the U.S. or Canada, May Day is one of the biggest bank holidays elsewhere in the world.

A Lightship—A Fixed Point In A Fluid World

Breaking it Down: Industrial Capitalism vs. Financial Capitalism
Michael Hudson asks: “In light of the enormous productivity gains since the end of World War II – and especially since 1980 – why isn’t everyone rich and enjoying the leisure economy that was promised?” The answer (per Hudson) is painfully obvious, but bears repeating (ad infinitum): What was applauded as a post-industrial economy has turned into a financialized economy. The reason you have to wo

Radio Is About to Get Better
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to increase the number of low-powered FM (LPFM) stations after a 12-year hiatus caused by a successful campaign against community radio by the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), a lobby group for major commercial media. Much to the joy of community radio activists, hundreds of new radio stations will pop up in cities across the country. A
The Politics of Sight
Would Americans eat less meat, and would animals be treated more humanely if slaughterhouses were made with glass walls and we all could see the monstrous killing apparatus at work?

Another Way of Looking at Interstellar Probes

But the reverse could occur: A more advanced technological civilization could send a probe in our direction, particularly after detecting signs

Of all the probe targets in the outer Solar System, Titan is in many ways the most provocative.

The allure of this moon is surely what goes on in that atmosphere, a nitrogen brew mixed with methane that gen
