Friday roundup

The shadiest Ukranian protesters are causing trouble for the rest.

Egypt persecutes journalists.

Solitary confinement serves no one.

It's true: Washington doesn't quite have the philanthropic culture of more affluent, money-status cities, and that's sort of a good thing. But so is David Rubenstein's paradigm-shifting generosity.

Old news--and even old op-ed--but caring about food isn't an evil-elitist thing.

I've gotta ask--and the Hot Pockets made of unsound and diseased animals is the tip of the iceberg these days--why eat meat??

That you can and should be polite without being "chivalrous" is a worthwhile observation; same with not judging people because you don't know what invisible disabilities or other challenges they do have. But hell yes I will judge able-bodied people who don't give up their seats on public transportation. And I won't judge anyone for being obese, but I will absolutely resent you for invading my personal space.
