Monday Miscellany!
Sep. 9th, 2013 02:26 pm- Russia has proposed a system that hands Syria's chemical weapons over to the UN. I've been saying that Assad is Russia's puppet and we should let Russia handle him. Well, Russia's handling him. We should support Russia, instead of trying to send a message to Iran.
- George Zimmerman appears to have dodged the proverbial bullet again, this time in his domestic dispute with his wife. Let me state once again that the pro-Second Amendment community should disavow this asshole. He's a damned lucky moron, but he's a moron nonetheless, and any support for him will continue to backfire in increasingly worse ways.
- Time Magazine on the importance - the absolutely critical importance - of
navalny's campaign for Mayorship of Moscow to the future of Russian democracy, here.
- I just finished Liber AL vel Legis: The Book of the Law. An Examination of Liber XXXI and Liber CCXX. I have to say that the Gillis essay on the Kill/Fill discussion is compelling. It's almost compelling enough to make me change my mind that the edit violates Aiwass's commandment to "change not the style of the letter." Almost. I hope every local body takes the time to put this on their shelves.
- FaceBook is trying to one-up Twitter. I wish they would try to one-up LiveJournal, such as by letting you print your FB as a PDF book. LiveJournal has had that capability for over a decade.
- This Kickstarter for Spiri - a cheap, autonomous, programmable quadrocopter - is almost at it's $125,000 goal. I supported it at the "I get a robot!" level. If you're a tech geek, then you should back it too!
