Monday morning roundup

The world wants anti-censorship tools.

Nicholas Kristof says, cuddle your kids. Or, if they're rats, lick them.

Ezekiel Emanuel says, chew xylitol-sweetened gum.

Fairfax County--particularly the clusterf* that is Tyson's Corner--is starting to think awfully highly of itself.

The entitled generation is so regardless of race. An excerpt:
It could be something as simple as your cousin thinking he deserves to be famous just because he has more than seven followers on Twitter and figured out how to upload a YouTube clip. Ditto for the opinion of a random blogger who thinks belaboring your opinions is synonymous with holding informed ones.
I kind-of feel bad for Abigail Fischer. If there's anything teenagers are entitled to, it's to f* up and move on. But in her case, her f*up is so public that she's stuck with it, unless she finds a way to outgrow it.
