Global villages 2.0
The USA Today has an article today on the “blurring of social circles online.” It doesn’t quote danah, so I think it’s suspect from the outset (kidding!). Really, I want to note a couple of things.

Close Guantánamo
I started to assemble a list of candidates’ positions on Guantánamo and indefinite detention, but then found that Shayana Kadidal had already done it over at the Huffington Post: Clinton: Consistent advocate of Gtmo closure; co-sponsored Feinstein bill to close it down.

Since this blog went a bit dark during the last semester, I’m resurrecting the earlier practice of copying everything here (as well as to the course blogs, etc.). One change will be a bit of an increase in updates. Another will be [...]
