Nuclear power zealots are engaged in their biggest push in years in the United States and internationally. Headlines of recent pieces online about nuclear power include: "Japan's top business lobby proposes maximum use of nuclear energy." And, U.S. "looks to resurrect more nuclear power." And, "European nations back nuclear power ahead of major climate summit." 
In the past, Israeli troops have used robots and trained dogs with cameras on their collars, as well as Palestinian civilians, to serve as shields. However, Palestinians who were used as shields always wore civilian clothes and thus could be identified as civilians. Now, by dressing Palestinian civilians in military garb and sending them into the tunnels, the Israeli military has, in effect, altered the very logic of human shielding.

It has been a safe assumption for generations that young people tend to be more liberal than their elders. However, in today's United States, some of the conventional wisdom around age and ideology is being upended. Young women are moving farther to the left than expected while their male peers are disturbingly tending toward conservatism, even in comparison to older men. The reasons behind this cleaving, broadly speaking, stem from the twilight of patriarchy and the failure of capitalism.

An old theme within social theory holds that societies with very unequal distributions of wealth can sustain their social cohesion so long as total wealth is growing. Such total growth enables all who get a distributed share of that wealth—even those with the smallest shares—to experience at least some increase. The rich with the biggest shares can grab most of the growth so long as some is provided to those with small shares. The pie analogy works well: so long as the pie is growing all distributed shares of it can also grow. Some will grow more, others less, but all can grow. If all do grow, social…

More often than not, he's just trying to entertain. | Without accepting that simple fact, mainstream reporters and politicians will always risk looking hopelessly out of touch.
