Friday Afternoon Links!
* Big story keeps getting bigger. ‘Total panic’ as ‘shell-shocked’ White House struggles to find impeachment footing. Madness at Fox News as Trump Faces Impeachment. As Republicans Face Impeachment Dilemma, Romney is a Lonely Voice of Concern. Impeach Barr too. Innocent Man Calls for Whistleblower to Be Executed. This Guy Truly Has No Idea What He’s Talking About. This Guy Too. Needle already moving. Impeachment Shouldn’t Be the Goal of Impeachment.
* Huge, if true: Neoliberalism Paved the Way for Authoritarian Right-Wing Populism.
* Pattern Recognition but real and completely depressing: The Pee Tape Is Real, but It’s Fake.
* Whoever wins, we lose: With the US and China, Two Types of Capitalism Are Competing With Each Other.
* Wall Street vultures cutting ads for Warren now.
* Into every generation a Slayer is born: The harmless-looking girl… who executed Nazis after seducing them in bars: WWII heroine who joined the Dutch resistance aged 14, dies aged 92.
* For all its flaws, I liked Ad Astra more than a lot of my circle. Abigail Nussbaum gets at a lot of the reason why.
* Gollancz announces a £4,000 prize for sf writing by people of color.
* Grad programs still chronically lying about where their grads end up.
* White Borrowers? Almost Paid Off. Black Borrowers? Still Indebted.
* Greta Thunberg isn’t the only trailblazing young climate leader. Activists from the Amazon to Nigeria share their ideas for battling the climate crisis. Teen girls are leading the climate strikes and helping change the face of environmentalism. Why the right’s usual smears don’t work on Greta Thunberg. Why is Greta Thunberg so triggering for certain men? Greta Thunberg became a climate activist not in spite of her autism, but because of it. For people with Asperger’s, a role model emerges in Greta Thunberg. As an Autistic Femme, I Love Greta Thunberg’s “Resting Autism Face.” US politics is stuck. Can the climate movement shake it loose? I wouldn’t say I’m optimistic. For the sake of life on Earth, we must put a limit on wealth.
* Peace in our time: Sony and Marvel Strike a New Deal to Keep Spider-Man in the MCU.
* Will there ever be a cure for chronic pain?
* Cash/Consent: The war on sex work.
* Reunite.
* The creator of the labradoodle says he made ‘Frankenstein’s monster.’
* Spotted on the web: Games and Culture syllabus 2019.
* Trailer for documentary very specifically tailored to my Northern New Jersey roots: Class Action Park.
* Academic freedom under siege.
* That was fast: McDonald’s rolls out meatless Beyond burgers in Canada.
* There’s a serious blood plasma shortage, please consider donating.
* Wisconsin, you should be ashamed of yourself.
* Marquette program helps students with autism adjust to college life.
* Big mood: Kufungisisa, the local term for depression, is literally translated into “thinking too much”.
* And news of Tom Brady’s omnipotence does throw me for a loop.
