Motus Mentis

I’m a little woozy tonight after some periodontal surgery earlier today, so for now, just a few links that have been gathering dust in the bin:

— On topic: Comfortably Numb.

— On legacies and dynasties.

— The wages of sin.

— The Walter Duranty prize: to David Kirkpatrick, for his Benghazi whitewash in the Times.

— A response to the Obama Adminstration’s National Climate Assessment.

— Remington returns fire.

— The Northern Lights.

— Unexpected factors giving rise to more powerful monarchs.

— Hey, this test can’t be working properly; we’d better change it.

— …Meanwhile…

— Water, water, everywhere!

— He’s even lost Noam Chomsky.
