- "The farm colonies of the Salvation Army"I just came across this; a completely bizarre attempt to re-frontierize as a means of dealing with urban poor. FARM COLONIES OF THE SALVATION ARMY. BY COMMANDER BOOTH TUCKER. The farm colonies of the Salvation Army in the United States were first organized in the spring of 1898 for the purpose of enabling stranded but worthy families to keep together and ult […]
- The Drone CaucusMission & Main Goals The mission of the U.S. House Unmanned Systems Caucus is to educate members of Congress and the public on the strategic, tactical, and scientific value of unmanned systems; actively support further development and acquisition of more systems, and to more effectively engage the civilian aviation community on unmanned system use and sa […]
- "the first shot of Megan Fox in T2: ROTF"“Consider, for example, the first shot of Megan Fox in T2: ROTF. Understanding that Fox is to supply the film’s sex appeal for adolescents of all ages who love cars and chicks (and especially chicks in proximity to cars), Bay introduces his leading lady sprawled across a motorcycle wearing a tank-top, cut-off shorts, and cowboy boots. In case we still don’t […]
- "Militant Stupidity"“I take it for granted there is really no such thing as “intelligence”. There are a million ways to be smart and no one’s smart in all of them; everyone can be slow on the uptake, and most human beings, whether plumbers or professors, will be remarkably apt at some things and hopeless at others. But stupid isn’t dumb. Stupidity is different. It involves an e […]

The Anthropology library is a recent victim of harsh service cuts caused directly by the university’s mis-management of funds and privatization. The hours are being cut from the previous, already sl […]
- Selmeya and ViolenceAshraf Khalil’s Liberation Square: Inside the Egyptian Revolution and the Rebirth of a Nation: Much has been made of the near-obsessive dedication to nonviolence on the part of the Tahrir square protesters. For the most part, that’s true. From the very start, one of the dominant chants from the protesters was salmeya, or peaceful. But let’s pause now to ackn […]

At about 11pm, Sri Louise and I were at the Interfaith Umbrella on Frank Ogawa Plaza, making political signs and keeping an eye on a sweet puppy named Jasmine. Others around us were gathered in small clusters talki […]

- "The right to look confronts the police who say to us “move on, there’s nothing to see here.” Only..."“The right to look confronts the police who say to us “move on, there’s nothing to see here.” Only there is, and we know it and so do they. The opposite of the right to look is not censorship, then, but “visuality,” that authority to tell us to move on, and that exclusive claim to be able to look. Visuality is an old word for an old project. It is not a tren […]
