Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Well…say what you will about it, it’s good writing.
From 23 Writers With Messages For Straight White Male Publishing, off the Twitter feed of Andrea Castillo, by way of Instapundit. I can only hope the “authors” of the placards — what do we call these, the “Write something on a placard, pose with it looking grouchy and put it on the Internet” placards? — take as much pride in their actual writing, as in, stuff they’ve at least tried to have published by this predominantly-straight-white-male industry. I’d hate to think this was nothing more than the latest in “Just reject the right people, everything will turn out okay.”
But actually, “Read Less Straight White Men” is a close contender.
And this one might even come out on top. From the comments: “Replace straight white men with Jews, and boom. Instant Hitler.”

- Sorta Blogless Sunday Pinup » Pirate's Cove | 04/19/2015 @ 06:44I assume you’ve heard of Steve Sailer’s Law of Female Journalism?* This is the long-form version of that. Nobody wants to read our “Lookit me! I’m so oppressed!” vagino-blather? We’ll take selfies with slogans until you do!
Meanwhile Dune, Starship Troopers, and Ender’s Game still sell more in a day than the sum total of whatever half-baked crap these people have managed to excrete.
*(“The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.”)
- Severian | 04/19/2015 @ 13:22Ah, but did not William Hung get his 15 minutes of fame for being absolutely terrible? It seems with youth today everything…and I mean EVERYTHING…reverts back to the “I’m a pincess…I’M A PINCESS” entitlement argument made by Arnold’s young adversary in “Kindergarten Cop.” Unfortunately, no one wants to be the big meanie and scream “Take it BACK!”
- P_Ang | 04/19/2015 @ 17:52Number 3: it’s “read fewer straight white men.” Moron.
- FunkyPhD | 04/20/2015 @ 12:08“Read less straight white men!”
Missing a comma, aren’t you? Besides, if we read less, who will buy your work?
“Sit down and let us abolish you.”
If you were all that empowered, you would do it without us having to sit still and wait. Also, while I’m sitting and you’re up, get me a beer, won’t ya?
“She’s coming for you.”
Should I keep sitting still until she gets here?
I suppose I could go on, but no doubt I’m just both A) fearful and B) hateful for critiquing these fresh new voices. Besides, I have it on the best authority that they just want equality.
