The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Maybe This "Event" is Over


For John, BLUFTruth has given way to theater.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



On Democracy Now, just now, News Reader Amy Goodman runs a clip of the Columbia University Mattress Woman taking her mattress to graduation, mentioning that the Mattress Woman, Ms Emma Sulkowicz, is doing this in protest that her alleged attacker should be expelled.  (Here is the article in The New York Times.)  No mention of the fact that the alleged attacker, Mr Paul Nungesser, was exonerated. Here is an item from the newspaper article, not mentioned by Ms Goodman:
Until seconds before the student, Emma Sulkowicz, walked onstage, Columbia officials had asked her to leave the mattress behind.  President Lee C. Bollinger turned away as she crossed in front of him, failing to shake her hand, as he did with the other graduates.
Also not mentioned by Ms Goodman was the lawsuit, mentioned in the NYT article:
Mr. Nungesser, who was cleared by the university and has maintained that their sexual encounter was consensual, filed a federal discrimination suit last month against the school, Mr. Bollinger and the professor who approved Ms. Sulkowicz’s thesis project, saying he has been the victim of a harassment campaign.
The outcome of the suit will be interesting.  And, it could cause things to flow in a different direction after the decision.
