- Mapping Migration in the United States: I’m glad to live in a state with lots of imports, as I think that contributes to our adventuresome, ambitious, and friendly culture.

- 25 Activities Black People Should Avoid Around Cops: I’m awfully tired of hearing that if Person X just didn’t do Y — where Y is some activity other than threaten the life or limb of another person — then Person X would not have gotten shot or killed by the police. It’s not true, and it’s a piss-poor excuse for police brutality.
- The Elonis case isn’t really about freedom of speech: This is a thoughtful analysis by attorney Tim Sandefur. I’ve seen the claims that “a rapper is threatened with life in prison for his lyrics” on Facebook, but the facts make clear that this is a case of a person making very serious threats on the life of another, not a matter of free speech.
- What veterinarians know that doctors don’t: This is delightful. I’d like to see more cross-disciplinary sharing of information. Lord only knows that horse people are very apt to try horse remedies on themselves when injured, often with good effects. :-)
- Pregnant Wisconsin Woman Jailed Under State’s ‘Personhood’-Like Law: Such are the consequences of granting the rights of “personhood” to embryos and fetuses.
- My Sister-In-Law’s Lonely Christmas Cards: These are wonderful.
