Selected Reading (09/08/10)
August 9, 2010 at 10:44 pm | Posted in Misc. | 4 CommentsI’ll finally be moving my stuff down to London this weekend, so I’m afraid you may have to make do with a few more of these…
-
Mr Civil Libertarian offers his take on libertarianism.
-
BenSix argues that our overuse of ‘hate’ simply diminishes its meaning.
- The Guardian publishes one of Tony Judt’s final essays. The New York Review of Books also has a pretty extensive archive.
- Joe Klein charts the failure of an Iraq War he supported.
- Undeterred by their utter failure to kill gay marriage in California, Conservative groups are now training their fire on marijuana.
- Meanwhile, Ross Douthat tries to present a reasonable & humane case against gay marriage. Glenn Greenwald, Amanda Marcotte & Steve Benen all give him a good walloping.
- In the New Statesman, Ashley Sayeau looks at the Clinton era welfare reforms and worries about what they mean for Britain.
- And finally, for those of you who remember Warren G’s 1994 hit ‘Regulate’ but aren’t all too hip to the lingo, Wikipedia offers a wonderfully funny synopsis.

How bizarre. I rediscovered Regulate just the other day, not the synopsis though.
When are you going to get Spotify social Neil?

I’m not sure about this whole social Spotify thing. Won’t it be annoying & tell Facebook everytime I play a bloody song? I don’t need that shit in my life. If I decide to play Will Smith one evening, I don’t wish people to know about it.

“I’ll finally be moving my stuff down to London this weekend”
I’ll be moving in around 6 weeks. Where abouts you going to be living? Bloggers booze up required at some point methinks.
Warren G is legend.

I’ll be in Highgate. I obviously picked there because it puts me close to Karl Marx. Well, him and Minty from Eastenders.
By ‘bloggers booze-up’, I assume you mean ‘Entirely Serious Symposium About The Future of The Left’, right? Let’s just make sure it’s not on a school night!
But how will you maintain your anonymity? Will you wear a mask? ;)
