I am not feeling well today, so here is a low-overhead (for me) set of
links. Anything thoughtful that goes up here yesterday,
today, or tomorrow was written ahead of time, and scheduled.
The last one was from science news. This one is
from blogs. Anyway, here goes:

on the War Crimes Act [and another reason to think about
impeachment]

on the propaganda battle to provide a rationale for war in Iran.

change, but eventually it should happen.

(Cannon) mentions another political (mis)use of YouTube.
Just by adding a faux headline (which is all some people will
read) a false message is conveyed.

Variance picks up on the Tripoli Six. It was too
upsetting for me to blog about, but at least I can link to it.

posts something I meant to, but did not get around to.
Organizers of Spain's top annual fashion show, the Pasarela Cibeles,
