• Don't Leave Me Alone. Steven Horwitz, The Freeman | Ideas On Liberty (2011-04-20). One sentiment commonly expressed by libertarians is the desire to just be "left alone."  This is often meant politically: "If people would just leave each other alone, the world would be a much better place," or "I just want to be left alone to do what I want."  And in… (Linked Wednesday 2011-05-11.)

• INTERESTING QUESTION. Robert Paul Wolff, The Philosopher's Stone (2011-04-18). Marinus sent me a long, very interesting email message, criticizing my dismissive attitude toward the Prisoner’s Dilemma in Part Five of my tutorial on Formal Methods in Political Philosophy. I am turning that over in my mind, and will reply in a bit. But out of curiosity, I Google’d him,… (Linked Wednesday 2011-05-11.)

• Do the Nannies Get Nannies? cherylcline, der Blaustrumpf (2011-05-11). As incomprehensible as it is to shun both the Democratic and Republican parties, apparently it borders on incoherence to find fault with both pro- and anti-natalist arguments, or so it seems.  This month Cato Unbound has a pretty good feature on the politics of family size–see in particular Matthew Connelly's… (Linked Thursday 2011-05-12.)

• The Opposite of a Nut-Punch. Jesse Walker, Jesse Walker: Reason Magazine articles and blog posts. (2011-05-13). Well, not the complete opposite — the NYPD comes off looking pretty bad. Still, this is the feel-good crime story of the week. (Linked Friday 2011-05-13.)

• Last Time In the City. noreply@blogger.com (Τζούλια Ρήμ?@cf;20ac;ερ Πι?@cf;201e;), Propaganda Lalaland (2011-05-07). Saturday was probably my last time at Red Emma’s in a long while. I thought I’d go down there since I’m leaving Maryland on Friday morning and may not be back again until January of next year (assuming my study abroad plans will work out).

• Comment on Cordial and Sanguine by JOR. JOR, Comments for Austro-Athenian Empire (2011-03-13). Liberaltarianism is certainly the least compelling and least interesting form of left-libertarianism. It's like the Bob Barr/Wayne Allen Root wing of the libertarian left. (Linked Monday 2011-03-14.)

Adam Golub, student rep on Board.Voted “yes” to budget cuts.On Wednesday night, the Board of Trustees of the YCCD system passed unanimously, (not even the 'student representative' voted no), sweeping budget cuts which will lay-off staff, gut departments, and shut down entire programs. At one point a veteran in full military garb, angry… (Linked Tuesday 2011-03-15.)

• rechelon on Do you find the word “Anarchist” as an antagonist to the movement? reddit: the voice of the internet — news before it happens (2011-01-21). An-Archia means Without Rulership, so regardless of whatever we identify as people will call us "anarchists" and our ideals "anarchy" and they will be correct. In a bit of Orwellian ridiculousness "Anarchy" today is largely accepted as BOTH violent chaos and without rulership. That is to say whenever someone uses… (Linked Friday 2011-01-21.)

• Unfriending. ongoing by Tim Bray (2011-01-20). I've never really got much out of Facebook. Quite likely because I've been Doing It Wrong; so I'm trying to fix that.

• Institutions, Organizations, and Anarchy. joshmccabe, The Sociological Imagination (2011-01-20). One of the things I've been noticing as I delve deeper into the economic sociology literature is just how much sociologists take the existence of the state for granted. In most cases, the state is omnipresent in modern society because we could not have markets in its absence. Many Marxists,… (Linked Sunday 2011-01-23.)

• Edison's Predictions for the Year 2011 (1911) Matt Novak, Paleofuture Blog (2011-01-18). On June 23, 1911 the Miami Metropolis published predictions about the year 2011 from the one and only Tommy "Dumbo Killah” Edison. Edison makes some amazing predictions about a future of golden automobiles, the discontinuation of gold as currency, the rise of steel and the death of the steam engine. I'm especially… (Linked Sunday 2011-01-23.)

• Chronic Ironic Postergirl of the nineties. Theis S?@c3;b8;ndergaard, Wired Reread (2010-03-12). Scan originally appeared in Wired 03.11, November 1995. What I find truly ironic about the 90’s was that none of us teenagers back then had yet grasped the distinction between irony and sarcasm, thus we coined the phrase Chronic Ironic about our extensive use of sarcasm, unwittingly doing something incredibly… (Linked Wednesday 2010-03-31.)

We’ve decided to reward them with more of your money.”That’s what the government did with the bank bailouts, and now they’re doing it with the health insurance companies, too.
