More fascinating ideas from Chris Smaje:
Why focus so much on the undeserving poor, rather than on the undeserving rich? Accounts of the undeserving rich do exist in our politics, but they’re not nearly so prominent as their counterpart. The numerous ways that the fortunes of the world’s rich people and rich countries are extracted from the poor ones go too little remarked. Out of wealth comes the power to keep writing the rules in favour of wealth, and thence the need to keep dusting its crumbs from the table in the form of stigmatizing welfare policies.
TIL just how easy it is to write functions in zsh to automate little chains.
Broke out my IndieWeb reader and added some feeds to get going again, thanks to your prompt.

When a Goebbels or Streicher declares that Jews drink the blood of baptized children, the strategic defense against such is not to join the argument and say, no, actually, they do not, and then drone out an analysis of the Tsarist forgeries in which the claim originates. The solution is to call the lying motherfucker a taintsniffing shitmonger and send his tweet to digital oblivion. Mock, block and roll.
I'd certainly pay $8 to read more of this.
What's missing, for me, is a solid social reader that is as easy to use as the Big Silo. I'm using one now, which gives a bit more context that a simple RSS feed and allows me to reply, I hope. A single place to interact, rather than N different places.

When I published last week's episode, talking to @TinaMoffat3 about how important school meals are in showing children what it means to eat well, I had no inkling that this would be #NationalSchoolMealsWeek
