See you on the TV, call you every day,<\/em><\/strong>
Fly across the blogwatch just to let you get your way\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

(I offer this song free to anyone [sister<\/a>?] who wants an example of RPS <\/a>in pop culture. My apologies if she is already on it.)<\/p>\n

The Agitator<\/strong>: \u201cPolice are increasingly going to homes with agents from regulatory agents under the guise of \u2018code inspections.\u2019<\/a> Once inside, they then search for criminal misconduct. The process negates the need for a search warrant because it\u2019s allegedly a regulatory inspection, not a police search.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alias Clio<\/strong>: Response to my woman-as-icon posts. A powerful post about the \u201ctrap of iconization\u201d<\/a>\u2013I think this is totally<\/em> true, but what I posted about is also true; and so anyone who finds himself (I think mostly it will be \u201chimself\u201d\u2013?) drawn to either rejection or embrace of woman-as-icon should consider the ways in which this feminine iconicity is true and the ways in which it\u2019s false and hurtful.<\/p>\n

In other words, if you\u2019re following this discussion at all, Clio\u2019s post is vastly worth your time. \u2026Comments also worth reading, especially since this is a good example of a discussion in which everyone is agreeing with everyone else but choosing different examples. So if you think either Clio\u2019s post or mine is simply missing something, check out her comments.<\/p>\n

The intermittently-adorable Mickey Kaus<\/strong> on Maggie Gyllenhaal <\/a>(scroll, y\u2019all). I can\u2019t completely agree\u2013I thought she was hot sauce like Tabasco in the excellent 1\/3 of Secretary<\/em>, and forgave the movie 1\/3, though unfortunately the last third was the ending of the movie\u2013but, yeah.<\/p>\n

Mmmusing<\/strong>: \u201c\u2026This creates a special kind of conflict in the directionally-oriented structures of Western music. The music tells us we\u2019re going forward towards something, but our minds may get stuck in particular moments that have already passed<\/a>.\u201d Via About Last Night<\/a>. Ratty<\/a>, read this! Tell me what you think! (\u2026No, I\u2019m totally not above exploiting my friends.)<\/p>\n

Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto<\/strong>: Hit & Run<\/strong> links to this story of troops bonding with their robots<\/a>, and says, \u201cThe piece raises a lot of questions about the increasingly blurry lines that separate the human from the machine.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m skeptical of that, in part because I\u2019ve heard vets talk about the troops\u2019 pet cat, etc., and they really didn\u2019t seem to think that loving that cat like crazy blurred the lines between feline and human. Like, at all. I think soldiers are probably capable of figuring out that the robot is not a person. (I\u2019m pretty sure the strong emotional responses to tests that would blow up robots described in the article, for example, would apply to the troops\u2019 pet furry beasties as well. And animals have been awarded medals, if memory serves. Doesn\u2019t mean soldiers who cuddle kittens think cats are people.) \u2026You could either take this as my statement that robots are normal, or my statement that pets are weird. (I still miss my old dead horrible psycho cat.)<\/p>\n

Unqualified Offerings<\/strong>, unsurprisingly, has the best quote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is it Faulkner, or is it Memorex?<\/a><\/strong> Acecakes in awesomesauce.<\/em> Via About Last Night<\/a>. I scored only 58%, despite actually recognizing one WF quote. More on him in a bit.<\/p>\n

Top 25 Noir Films<\/a> <\/strong>via ditto. \u201cAnd I live in New York, New York the city that never shuts up\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Churches in the Great War<\/a><\/strong>. Via Daniel Mitsui<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And in last place<\/strong>, Grindhouse-style posters for classic movies<\/a>. ZOMG, more awesome than your mind can possibly handle. The colossal<\/em> squid of awesome movie-poster-parody links.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
