- Sri Lanka's atrocity against the Tamils is no longer in doubt.
I stopped paying attention to much of the post-war writing about Sri Lanka, since it’s all kind of a downer. Apparently the author of this article has written a book about the conflict, Still Counting the Dead.

- Why Seth MacFarlane’s Misogyny Matters.
I missed the Oscars, so I apparently missed MacFarlane being really horrible. Still, if there were no 2013 Oscars we wouldn’t get to enjoy Jennifer Lawrence’s hilarious winner’s press conference interivew.

- These apartments are so small they can only be photographed from the ceiling.

- This American Life: Doppelgängers.
The second half of the Doppelgängers episode of This American Life is absolutely fantastic. It’s about PTSD, and how people living in violence ridden projects suffer in the same way as people returning from the war. It’s very effecting.
That it’s paired with a story about pig butts secretly being used as an alternative to calamari was a strange choice, but probably makes the later story feel all the more raw.
