Wednesday Night Links: Žižek, Affleck, and More
* ‘This is why, back to The Dark Knight Rises, the only authentic love in the film is Bane’s, the “terrorist’s,” in clear contrast to Batman’: Žižek (or someone claiming to be Žižek) reads The Dark Knight Rises.
* Jane Hu has tonight’s timeline of future events.
* Ben Affleck tapped to ruin Justice League.
* Singularity & Co., Unique Bookshop Will Save Obscure Sci-Fi Titles.
* What everybody gets wrong about Jekyll and Hyde. Bracket that “everybody” and it’s a decent reading of the novel.
* After Wade Michael Page, the suspect in the Wisconsin Sikh temple shooting, was fired from a Harley Davidson shop in 2004, he left behind an application to join the Ku Klux Klan. What’s on the KKK application form?
* Will Democrats hold the Senate?
* McSweeney’s has a reason a day to vote for Obama.
* Do-over: Rep. Steve King Wants To Repeal Everything Bill Obama Has Ever Signed.
* Be wary of talk about privatizing the post office.
* And July was the hottest month ever recorded. Enjoy your apocalypse.

I think me and Ryan already wrote Zizek’s Dark Knight essay after we saw the movie.

I’m still not convinced Zizek actually wrote the thing. Why would he publish it on some random blog?
