The Bookworm Beat 6/2/16 — the quick round-up edition and open thread

I’m doing actual legal work today, but I want to clear my spindle before it gets completely out of control. Here goes, a quick, down-and-dirty round-up: President Trump? Scott Adams has pretty much nailed everything that’s happened so far in this election, at least when it comes to Trump’s tactics

Trump crept a little bit closer to earning my vote today

I’m not a Trump voter; I’m a #NeverHillary voter.  However, I’d much prefer to vote for someone than against someone else. Voting is more fulfilling as an affirmative act than as a negative one. So, I look for those moments when Trump says something that makes me think “Yes!” Well, Mr. Trump did

The misogyny behind Obama’s Title IX order re trans people in public schools — by guest blogger Lulu

I have been wondering if feminists actually care about women and sexual assault.  We have heard for years about the college rape culture and that one in five women on colleges will be raped.

You may not have known about Target’s long-standing open-access bathroom policy (all gender identities welcome wherever they want), but it appears that

The Bookworm Beat 4/18/16 — the “tax day” edition and open thread

Yes, it’s tax day, and what better day could there be to talk about all the distressing, expensive, and scary foolishness in the world? Ripping off taxpayers with climate change craziness.  Today has been a “suffer the climate change” day for me, so it’s appropriate to open with a riff

The Bookworm Beat 4/12/16 — “Idle thoughts of an idle mind” edition and open thread

If you haven’t read Jerome K. Jerome’s charming Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, first published in 1886, I recommend it. It is a pleasant antidote to today’s Sturm und Drang. But if you like to be mentally perturbed, you can’t do better than to read this post. All animals
