A few comments on/from the news

Owing to limited time (and energy), I will, from time to time, make a few brief comment on news and other events - or even just highlight articles I consider worth the attention.

  • not all members of the community see police as a good thing, and even less so the less trained PSOs: this plan to use more PSOs risks pandering to majoritarian blindness; 
  • an article on peace-focused community initiatives, as opposed to top-down policing; 
  • US-focused, but the importance of terminology, and thus not calling the self-styled "militias" that, but what they are: armed extremists; and
  • this article on "the tyranny of merit" should be compulsory reading for everyone - especially those women who think merit is all that matters in terms of getting ahead in the world.
