tahi. We saw Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy last night with the most restless audience ever, omg. ( Brief spoilery thoughts. )

obsessive24 has made a useful summary of the case against MegaUpload (and for kiwis, there's some discussion in the comments about the NZ arrests and extradition). I think all this would feel like less of a kick in the teeth if there'd been a concerted effort to hold Wall St accountable for its crimes; as it is, it only seems to underline the fact that law enforcement (and the law itself) primarily serves powerful corporations.
toru. This editorial about the GOP by an ex-insider is hair-raising and well worth a read, imo. The more I read about US politics, the more it feels like a puppet show put on to distract people from the market forces behind the scenes.
And two other links I've had open for a while and haven't read yet:
- The Trouble with Sex Differences
- What is it like to have an understanding of very advanced mathematics?

wha. Too many tabs open again, and the fic has hit an unfortunate patch of crime-plot-requiringness, which always slows me down, but I'm 230 words into the next section and hey, it's the weekend. \o/
rima. And to end on a happy note, everyone and their dog has probably already seen this, but: Hello. Hee!
