Before I go translate stuff
The New York Times was on fire this week. All of the following articles raised some really interesting, important questions about a variety of issues, and I recommend them:![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
peoppenheimer, since he's a professional philosopher, what he thought about it. My thoughts on the culture article are complex; I think the author makes and misses good points with equal frequency, for starters.
Bonus manga discussion rec!branchandroot talks about CLAMP's problems with women and with endings. I definitely have to agree with the discussion of women and girls getting the short end of the stick.
This morning my dad and I went to Philly to run in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K, in honor of my mom. I ran the whole thing straight through because I was worried that my leg would stiffen up if I took a walking break, so I managed to finish in about 33:30, which is quite a lot faster than the last 5K I ran (five minutes faster, roughly). As they say, boo-yah! This one's for you, Mom.
Also the course was nice--down the Parkway, back up Market Street to just past 30th Street Station, then over the bridge and back down around the Art Museum to the Eakins Oval. I do love Philly quite a lot.
- Harold Bloom reviews Alan Julius' Trials of the Diaspora, about anti-Semitism in England
- Two books about Martin Heidegger's Nazism
- Irène Némirovsky's writing and Jewish identity
- In The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell, talking about spies and spycraft, hits it out of the park.
- And in the Arts & Culture section, this article talks about the borders of culture in a global age.
