small thoughts 2011-05-22 (my week in twitter)

  • DSK: A semi-open marriage made public http://j.mp/lgeEf1 „As long as he is still attracted to me, and I to him, it is sufficient.“ Hm. Hmmm. #
  • Stolen Valor Act — the crime of pretending to be a military hero http://j.mp/lq1Llg In what kind of society would this crime be wide-spread? #
  • Sex and Religion: We’re all doing pretty much the same stuff. Believers just feel worse about it. http://j.mp/mTslC9 #cautionorhumoradvised #
  • School funding — irony can be so enlightening http://j.mp/lPyd6N And who doesn’t get it, too http://j.mp/kQ2APx (different topic) #
  • #travelinsight 51: I’ll never say cool again. There is an abundance of much nicer words of appreciation here. Shwanga! (for Germans… ;) #
  • Informed comment has Obama’s Middle East address http://j.mp/lrZs4X and a thoughtful comment analyzing pros and cons http://j.mp/lQWg71 #

  • Well-argued and devastating critique of Dominique Strauss-Kahn and his public defenders http://j.mp/m6rDia Bad bad taste in my mouth. #
  • Sind Gleichstellungsbeauftragte auch für Männer da? Spannende Kontroverse http://j.mp/iEZaGU Ich finde: ja, aus vielerlei Gründen. #
  • #travelinsight 49: What percentage of „Hello, can you hear me?!“ of total talk time can you tolerate in a Skype call? #
  • #travelinsight 48: My mosquito technique now: Long pants, thick socks and killing the ones approaching my bare arms. Works most of the time. #
  • More stimulus evaluation: via Krugman a thorough critical appraisal of the critique http://j.mp/iyzZUm & a positive paper http://j.mp/lTh9Ec #
  • What Mankiw lauds as „empirical findings“ http://j.mp/m5eTVF is „Stupid Stimulus Tricks“ to Krugman http://j.mp/kFEb1Y #StimulusBill #
  • http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2011/05/evaluating-arra.html #
  • Twitter & co go newspaper: Interesting website, I’m curious how that will evolve http://paper.li/ #
  • Odd-angle perspective on freedom, pleasure, capitalism, minorities, feminism, even Israel http://j.mp/l9MA8Z Awesome! #EllenWillis #
  • It seems Qaddafi’s International Criminal Court indictment changes a lot in Libya by deterring his „friends“ http://j.mp/jRP8QK Good! #

  • Kapital und Bildung — Stiftung Lesen wird Schleichwerbung vorgeworfen http://j.mp/ja5pHQ Schade! Wem würde man vertrauen wenn nicht denen? #

  • Mieter subventionieren Photovoltaik — Entrechtung von Mietern unter dem Deckmantel des Klimaschutzes http://j.mp/jzVvxV Gute Idee, FDP! #
