Links Roundup 10/06/17

"Orbit" by Gabriel Schama

“Orbit” by Gabriel Schama

Argh, this week. It’s been an incredibly long week for me–I was sick earlier this week, which meant that I’ve had two extremely long days at work and we’ve a big deadline bearing down on us, too. I have three meetings today, which is three too many for a Friday. But Capclave is this weekend, which I’ve been looking forward to quite a bit.

The next few weeks are going to be even busier than this week has been, so the Friday posts may be a bit erratic and/or sparse. Life’s happening pretty fast right now.

  • The Making (and Unmaking) of a 23-Hour Times Best Seller
  • Yet another article that fails to call out Kid Rock for growing up in affluence, but the rest of it’s pretty good: Kid Rock, John Mellencamp, And The Rise And Fall Of Heartland Rock
  • Gamers like PewDiePie are why I don’t play online I’ve heard and read some seriously racist shit while playing World of Warcraft. Not to mention all the casual misogyny. This would be why I only play with friends.
  • Religious Liberty in a Fractured Republic This is an interesting analysis.
  • Women Aren’t Nags—We’re Just Fed Up Indeed we are. No is a beautiful word.
  • Rupi Kaur, Author of Milk and Honey This profile is nowhere near as flattering as I suspect Kaur was hoping it would be.
  • The Repressive, Authoritarian Soul of “Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends”
  • The Sci-Fi Roots of the Far Right—From ‘Lucifer’s Hammer’ to Newt’s Moon Base to Donald’s Wall I was really pleased to see that they made the connection between Jerry Pournelle and Vox Day. I also had no idea that Tor published Gingrich’s first novel.
