Tuesday Night!

* Reviews of Disability in Science Fiction at Tor and wordgathering focus on my chapter in particular, each taking up a different half of it; read them together and you get a pretty good sense of what I was on about.

* Confirm your suspicions about who the worst people at Gawker are: What Should Be Done About Detroit? A Gawker Internal Debate.

* The corporate university and permanent crisis.

* Radicalizing Fantasy and the Power of Disidentification.

* UConn Is Under Federal Investigation For Allegedly Mishandling Rape Cases.

* American Companies Made No Progress In Gender Diversity On Boards For 8 Straight Years.

* Why U.S. Parks Are Full of Squirrels.

* The good-looking are different from you and me.

* Remembering Nelson Mandela and His Fight for Climate Justice.

* David Simon: ‘There are now two Americas. My country is a horror show.’

* Boy with Asthma Dies After School Confiscates His Inhaler. “Zero tolerance policy against asthma inhalers.”

* That’s not what the Left wants. We want to give people the chance to do something else with their lives, something besides merely tending to it, without having to take a 30-year detour on Wall Street to get there. The way to do that is not to immerse people even more in the ways and means of the market, but to give them time and space to get out of it. That’s what a good welfare state, real social democracy, does: rather than being consumed by life, it allows you to make your life. Freely. One less bell to answer, not one more.

* ‘Revenge porn’ site creator charged with extorting victims to have nude photos removed.

* And Obamacare is still a huge, huge bummer, forever and ever amen.
