Identity

Honor's Code said something interesting the other day:
Gevlon of Greedy Goblin - I don't agree with him philosophically, but I want to learn what I can from him to increase my own meager supply of WoW gold. I love how he wraps philosophy and his world view into nearly every post while still staying on topic. I would love to develop that skill more in my own blog.
Honors himself often references the fact that he is a (presumably fundamentalist) Christian, and blogs occasionally about religious subjects. I don't begrudge him this, either, it's his blog of course, and he can do with it what he likes.

(Actually, I highly recommend Honor's Code--he really knows his paladin tanking, and his latest series about working through Ulduar is excellent.)

But wrapping your philosophy around everything you write has its downsides. Honors isn't an Andrew Sullivan-style introspective believer. He as a link to the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, which I sincerely believe is dishonest, manipulative, scientifically bogus, and mostly just plain idiotic. (Rotten Tomatoes gives it 10%: Consensus: Full of patronizing, poorly structured arguments, Expelled is a cynical political stunt in the guise of a documentary.)

Ben Stein said during an interview about that movie "...Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people." If Honors wrapped up every post in that kind of dreck, I would likely stop reading his blog, as I have basically quit on Gevlon.

Of course, I'm guilty of much the same. I don't disguise my beliefs (doesn't matter, I suppose, since no one reads me anyway). But this is only about half and half WoW and politics, similar to TNC. A political blog can't disguise its opinions, and shouldn't. But if one writes mostly about WoW or a non-political subject (and I suppose this is the point I was going for), one should tread carefully on political subjects.

Why Did Reality Winner Leak to the Intercept?

So Reality Winner, former NSA contractor, is in federal prison for leaking classified information — for five years and three months, the longest sentence of any whistleblower in history. She gave documents on how Russia had attempted to hack vendors of election machinery and software to The Intercept , which completely bungled basic security procedures (according to a recent New York Times piece from Ben Smith, the main fault lay with Matthew Cole and Richard Esposito ), leading to her capture within hours. Winner recently contracted COVID-19 in prison, and is reportedly suffering some lingering aftereffects. Glenn Greenwald has been furiously denying that he had anything at all to do with the Winner clusterfuck, and I recently got in an argument with him about it on Twitter. I read a New York story about Winner, which clearly implies that she was listening to the Intercepted podcast of March 22, 2017 , where Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill expressed skepticism about Russia actual...

The Setswana Grammar Manual

One of my few successes during my service here was formatting the Peace Corps South Africa grammar manual for Setswana, written mostly by Art Chambers, an SA16 volunteer.  For anyone wanting to learn Setswana, I reckon it's a pretty good primer, so I present it for free here .  If you think it sucks and you want to make changes, or you'd like to take a look at the raw TeX file, you can find it here .

On Refusing to Vote for Bloomberg

Billionaire Mike Bloomberg is attempting to buy the Democratic nomination. With something like $400 million in personal spending so far, that much is clear — and it appears to be working at least somewhat well, as he is nearing second place in national polls. I would guess that he will quickly into diminishing returns, but on the other hand spending on this level is totally unprecedented. At this burn rate he could easily spend more than the entire 2016 presidential election cost both parties before the primary is over. I published a piece today outlining why I would not vote for Bloomberg against Trump (I would vote for Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, or Biden), even though I live in a swing state. This got a lot of "vote blue no matter who" people riled up . They scolded me and demanded that I pre-commit to voting for Bloomberg should he win the nomination. The argument as I understand it is to try to make it as likely as possible that whatever Democrat wins t...
