On stay at home moms, getting out of the work force, and getting back in.

- The photo that gets more incriminating all the time.
It’s funny that this picture hasn’t gotten more play. People are so obsessed with a video that may or may not materialize, but this photograph of Ford is pretty bonkers in and of itself.

- Death of a Prisoner.
Adnan Farhan Abdul Latif recently died in solitary confinement at Guantánamo at age 36, after nearly 11 years of imprisonment there, despite never having been charged with a crime. Last month his body was returned to his family in Yemen, but we are left with many unanswered questions about his imprisonment and death.
A short film by Laura Poitras. Obama pledged to close Guantánamo in 2009. I suspect this is how most of the men in Guantánamo are going to end up going home.

This is a pretty neat program. A text editor that notes some math.

- Swimming in a sea of shit: Phil Fish and the Internet’s war against creatives.
The embedded interview with Dave Chapelle is excellent. I need to watch the whole thing at some point. (As an aside, Blue Streak is a god damn fantastic film.)

- The many faces of Giambrone.
It’s been a bit disappointing watching Giambrone on the campaign trail. He was a really good city councillor, but he often comes off as a politician’s politician. The Ontario NDP are one giant disappointment.

Yeah, good luck with that.

- 'Community's' Dan Harmon Reveals the Wild Story Behind His Firing and Rehiring.
Joel McHale apparently lobbied quite hard to get him back. Season 4 felt very much like a fan-fiction version of the show. I’m hoping season 5 is much better.
