That’s it for me today. As always, thanks for reading and commenting. Here are some links for this afternoon:
1. Iraq records huge increase in birth defects. Apparently linked to military action.
2. A review of David Nutt’s latest book, Drugs without the Hot Air. Alcohol doesn’t come off well.
4. Good point about Reddit and free speech.
5. Apparently we’ve had yet another mass shooting, this time at a mall in Wisconsin. Follow TPM for the breaking story. Here’s a reporter on the scene.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and stay safe.
