It was like a website made out of paper updated every month? And it was an early master of the clickbait headline. Anyway, now I&#8217;ve reminded you, I bet you wonder what it&#8217;s doing these days! Well here&#8217;s something it&#8217;s doing: publishing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/movies\/news\/a36375\/if-disney-couples-starred-in-fifty-shades-of-grey\/\">NSFW images of Disney princesses enacting scenes from 50 Shades of Grey<\/a>. Because who the hell knows.<\/p>\n<p>The Ruminator: <a href=\"http:\/\/ruminator.co.nz\/how-presidents-assholes-is-really-an-allegory-for-the-left-wing-view-of-life\/\">how the card game Presidents &#038; Assholes describes a left-wing view of life<\/a>.

Here&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/features\/archive\/2015\/02\/what-isis-really-wants\/384980\/\">one I read, at the Atlantic<\/a>, who are usually pretty good. I have no idea how to evaluate how accurate it is.<br \/>\nEDITED TO ADD: I&#8217;ve seen quite a few responses to this article claiming it portrays ISIS as Islamic and thus Islam is the problem; but that&#8217;s now how I read this article at all. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.salon.com\/2015\/02\/20\/this_stupidity_needs_to_end_why_the_atlantic_ny_post_are_clueless_about_islam\/\">Here&#8217;s a good response that adds lots of great info to the discussion<\/a> but, in my reading at least, doesn&#8217;t actually contradict the Atlantic piece at all.<br \/>\nSECOND EDIT: <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/world\/2015\/02\/18\/3624121\/atlantic-gets-dangerously-wrong-isis-islam\/\">An overview of pushback on this piece<\/a>, but I still think Wood&#8217;s point in this article was to say ISIS is Islamic in the same way that, like, people who bomb abortion clinics are Bible-literalist Christians. That said, finding this article celebrated by Fox News people and Richard Dawkins doesn&#8217;t give me much comfort.<\/p>\n<p>The WaPo digs into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/lifestyle\/style\/to-shill-a-mockingbird-how-the-discovery-of-a-manuscript-became-harper-lees-new-novel\/2015\/02\/16\/48656f76-b3b9-11e4-886b-c22184f27c35_story.html\">what&#8217;s really going on with this new Harper Lee book<\/a>, showing evidence that it&#8217;s actually a first draft of what became To Kill A Mockingbird.
