And:

1. "As Speaker of the House Joe Martin (R-MA) told an assembly of black Republicans in 1947: 'I’ll be frank with you: we are not going to pass a [non-discrimination in private business bill], but it has nothing to do with the Negro vote. We are supported by New England and Middle Western industrialists who would stop their contributions if we passed a law that would compel them to stop religious as well as racial discrimination in employment'": Zack Beauchamp: How Racism Caused The Shutdown
2. "Officials at Georgia Institute of Technology are investigating an e-mail sent by a Phi Kappa Tau member to his fraternity brothers on 'luring your rapebait', The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 'The institute does not condone this type of behavior and continues to provide resources and education designed to create a supportive campus environment for all students, even those who exercise extremely poor judgment'…. The e-mail, which appeared on several websites Monday, outlines strategies for getting women drunk and having sex with them": Whiskey Fire: Today in "Why We Don't Need Feminism Anymore" News, Or, Mansplain This!
3. "Libertarians, Land claims, are ultimately 'looking for an exit'. A claim with many implications. Exhibit A for him is the perhaps justifiably notorious April 2009 issue of Cato Unbound, which I edited. In it, PayPal co-founder and radical libertarian Peter Thiel declared, 'I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.' In Land’s gloss: 'Even more than Equality-vs-Liberty, Voice-vs-Exit is the rising alternative, and libertarians are opting for voiceless flight.' Are we looking for an exit? And what would that mean?": Jason Kuznicki: Zombie Apocalypse or Marginal Revolution? Nick Land, Neo-Reactionaries, and the Heterotic Society
4. "California's legislators are no more moderate, relative to their districts, under the top-two regime than they were before. Indeed, they may even be a bit more polarized. If you want to know why, as Nagourney writes, California has produced an impressive month of legislation and bill signings, look to the unified party control with massive Democratic majorities. If you want to know why, as Wilson writes, so few California Republicans signed on to the government shutdown effort, look to the fact that the Tea Party movement was never very well rooted on the West Coast": Seth Masket: The Mischiefs of Faction: It's Top-Two Friday!
