"Nobody writes articles in which opera-lovers are mocked as adult babies who never grew out of make-believe and sing-song; obsessive misfits who flock to weird “opening nights” wearing elaborate “tuxedo” cosplay outfits. [...]

Opera – a three-hour unskippable cutscene and all-round cultural blight whose primary function in modern society is to be used as a backing music to slow-motion montages of sporting folk – gets an easy ride partly because it’s called “opera”, instead of “singy-sing-sing time”."

Men artiklen er nu mest om gamergate. Noget om at bumser behandler kvinder skidt på nettet.

"Vi må hellere starte med den gode nyhed.

For ikke særlig mange år siden kostede et dvd-baseret videosystem til bagsædet 14.000 kroner.

I dag køber man et par 299 kroners 7" tablet'er i Harald Nyborg og bruger dem til film, spil og lydbøger. Sandsynligvis med hovedtelefoner.

Tablet'en kan monteres smagfuldt på forsædernes nakkestøtter med gaffa-tape for en 20'er. Eller også kan barnet bare sidde med den i hånden."

Aditya Chakrabortty: Property developers wining and dining town hall executives - it?s a jaunt so lavish as to be almost comic

"I had direct experience in every aspect of interrogation and intelligence in the so-called “war on terror.” From producing intelligence through interrogation to assessing it to seeing policies made from it, I was there. Let me be clear about what I learned: Torture undermines all sound principles of good interrogation, intelligence collection, and assessment. It does not work, it is unnecessary, it is illegal, it betrays our ideals and our nation’s laws. There is no practical, legal, moral, or utilitarian argument in favor of torture. We don’t need it, and it betrays who we seek to be. No fine-tuning of the law is necessary to justify it — ever. "
