Sunday afternoon roundup

Greece's Golden Dawn is really scary.

The Stalinism of Mao.

Have I mentioned that our food system is detrimental to our health and safety?
As farms and pastures encroach ever deeper into the wilderness, ecosystems are disrupted and people come into closer contact with disease carrying animals. As jungles and rain forests are razed, as factory farms proliferate to produce chicken and other meat for a global middle class, as jetliners knit the skies with multiplying flights and routes, microbes have more opportunities to jump from animal to person and speed around the globe.
Japan won't be able to meet Kyoto targets.


Are art thieves just confused?

Apartment museums proliferate in St. Petersburg, that "city of canals and pastel-colored palaces."

Yes, utilities and phone companies, among others, are screwing you over. And yes, some of those items on your bill that are made to appear to be taxes are just bull$hit charges.

A Square's book about a Triangle. Kidding; the book is about the impact of naval power in the Civil War.

Are all three books actually about manliness?

Got umami?

I want that calendar!
