iPad Hacker and “Troll” Weev Is Now a Straight-Up White Supremacist:

Four years ago, Andrew “Weev” Aurenheimer poked an easy hole in Apple’s iPad security, exposed the information of 114,000 users, and embarrassed both that company and AT&T. He spent a year in prison before his sentence was tossed out, becoming a hacker hero in the process—and also, apparently, a neo-Nazi.

PS: The line from Trolololol lolz racism and actual racism is non-existent. Surprise!

“There indeed is nothing “natural” about race. But one’s “natural” inclinations to duck and dodge its tentacles will not in fact stop their all-consuming reach.”

– America’s Sex and Race Failure.

““There’s a point a lot of us go through … to understand you’ve been systematically excluded from the various television shows and artforms you’ve grown up on””

– Nickelodeon and Diversity.

“Ah, here we are. Appropriate subjects for sophisticated narrative art. A serious novel is about things these gentlemen find serious—like the decline of the cultural authority of the straight white male. It astonishes me how endlessly fascinating some men find themselves.”

Good write up of the YA reading debate.
