- Confessions of a white Oxbridge male – FT.com – Like the communist rulers in 1989, we white Oxbridge males cannot defend our dominance with arguments. Most of us know we didn’t get here through individual brilliance. Perry is wrong when he says, “Default Man will never admit to, or be fully aware of, the tribal advantages of his identity.” I’m very aware of those advantages. That’s why, although I currently have a decent job at a good newspaper, I feel very little sense of achievement. My dad went to Cambridge. I was born to be a minor establishment functionary. That’s also why I’m not desperate for my children to join the establishment. What would it prove?

Stuff worth mentioning:
- Tories fail at getting the interwebs, again.
- Analyzing Google Earth images only works if you know what you’re doing and don’t e.g. mistake two copies of the same picture as representing different years. If you do make that mistake, you might think that these pictures show the failure of land reform in Zimbabwe (i.e. it all went to pot once the whites were thrown off the land). It reminds me a lot of the people who thought they could detect Dan Rather using fake documents by examining a screenshot of a picture of the document in question, during that whole Rathergate fiasco…
- Note: no defence of the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe is meant with that last bit, just annoyance at slightly too racially motivated glee about the effects of land reform in that country (in the comment threads rather than the original post that is).
- Reuters has a handy factsheet on what the new healthcare bill means when.
- Speaking of which: cry hot tears for America, wingnuts, cry!
- (May I add: BWAHAHAHA!)
- Also: Journalista kicks off a thread on the likely effects of the law on freelance cartoonists. Unfortunately, it starts off a bit scaremongery.
- Charlie Stross: Capital can flow freely, but labour is in shackles world-wide.
