My apologies, it’s been a busy few weeks and I haven’t had time to add anything new. So here’s couple things I’ve stumbled across recently.

In nuclear news, Craig Whitlock reports for The Washington Post that “the Air Force on Friday fired the general in charge of all land-based nuclear missiles, the second time in a week that a senior commander of the country’s nuclear arsenal has been let go for allegations of personal misconduct.” (I wonder if his misconduct had anything to do with precious bodily fluids.)

Three things from Fukushima: Mari Yamaguchi asks, “Japan’s Water Leaks: How Dangerous?” for the AP. The Sleuth Journal reports that “Radioactive Water From Fukushima Is Systematically Poisoning the Entire Pacific Ocean.”

And if that weren’t bad enough, Andrew Breiner for Think Progress writes how a “Once-A-Decade Typhoon Threatens Already Leaking Fukushima Nuclear Plant.”

And though I think I’ve reported on this/posted a picture of this before, Flickr has an arresting series of images of archival decay from the abandoned Mark Twain Branch Library in Detroit.

And a few other assorted links. Netflix as the new canon.

“NSA Able to Foil Basic Safeguards of Privacy on the Web.”

A linguistically hyperarchival study of Facebook.

The questionable article from Inside Higher Education that was making the rounds a couple weeks ago claiming that contingent faculty (adjuncts, lecturers, etc.) are more effective teachers than professors with tenure.

And the House of Representatives stenographer who thinks that opening the Federal Government back up is an affront to and mockery of Jesus.
