Saturday roundup

Burundi is on the brink.

Has Bangladesh thought through the unintended consequences of encouraging people to urinate only on their own language?

You won't believe what the meninists have to say now (actually, you will, but you won't believe that the Post ran something very similar).

The most important thing in handling the Duggar revelations is to respect the victims, but we can do that while also pointing out the family's hypocrisy and the decrepitude of its values.

In Argentina, child molesters are actually prosecuted and there's outrage about light sentences.

Also: women's bodies are neither bicycles nor cups of spit (decrepitude of its values link as above), nor weapons:

Equating military conquest and romantic pursuits is nothing new—we’ve all heard that “all’s fair in love and war.” But this trope got considerably sexed up during the war between the Axis and the Allies. Pin-up girls pasted on the noses of WWII bombers (“nose art”) kept American soldiers company on long tours, and the sexy songstresses who entertained troops were dubbed “bombshells.” But an even weirder tone to the innuendoes crept into the lingo once nuclear weaponry appeared. Women’s bodies, more readily on display than ever before,  became dangerous and tempting in magazine advertizements, even weaponized in competitions like the 1957 Miss Atomic Bomb champion.

Some charts on the relationships between faith and views on science.

On Ireland's referendum: this is beautiful.

Meat and dairy are the biggest contributors to California's water crisis.

Monsanto's propaganda camp for journalists.

This is true not just for heels vs. flats but all style choices: be who you are and own that.
