The Rise of State Schools - a summary by Will... →
U.S. schools under the jurisdiction of state and federal governments are now scripted processes that view knowledge as static capital, students as passive and empty vessels, and teachers as compliant conduits for state-approved content. The accountability paradigm is antithetical to human agency and autonomy and thus to democracy, but it serves the needs of the status quo and the ruling...

THEVULGAR: SOME FEEL RAIN / Joanna Klink →
thevulgar: Some feel rain. Some feel the beetle startle in its ghost-part when the bark slips. Some feel musk. Asleep against each other in the whiskey dark, scarcely there. When it falls apart, some feel the moondark air drop its motes to the patch-thick slopes of snow. Tiny blinkings of ice from the…

Final Transmission
When he disappeared everyone though it was weird … you know in an internet sort of way. After all, he was the author of Annabel Scheme and for a time, just about everyone was a part of The Committee to Find and Rescue Annabel Scheme.

Marco Arment on SOPA
Here is the truth of it. Every few years, the MPAA’s lobbying power, rhetoric, and immense campaign contributions succeed in purchasing a bill in Congress to advance their agenda in a way that’s hostile to the technology industry and consumers. … The MPAA studios hate us. They hate us with region locks and unskippable screens and encryption and criminalization of fair use. They see us as...

Harvard Declares Dairy NOT Part of a Healthy Diet... →
Kudos to Harvard for promoting greater consumption of vegetables and fruits, as well as healthier protein options such as fish, beans or nuts. And kudos to Harvard for ignoring the lobbyists and showing the USDA what healthy eating is all about.
