Four For Thursday
Jun. 23rd, 2016 09:35 amFour items of note, linked only in my mind:
Item The First
I have a guest post on the website SFF World entitled Where's My Flying Car? Readers may note that they could just as easily substitute "rocket" for "flying car" in the linked post.
Item The Second
John Scalzi has an opinion on the Brexit vote in the UK. It very closely mirrors mine.
Item The Third
From Slate, How the novel Frankenstein is really about climate change.
Item The Fourth
House Democrats are holding a sit-in to attempt a vote which would ban people on the terrorist watch list from buying guns. I am somewhat ambivalent about this. On the one hand, if we're seriously concerned about these people, why in the hell would we let them buy a gun? On the other hand, heaven knows that this list is poorly-assembled at best. I think the bottom line is that the Republican's reluctance on this issue shows how non-serious they are about terrorism.
