Dwane Wade wearing fuchsiaSteve Nash in Forbes

Dwyane Wade and Steve Nash are two of my favorite basketball players (perhaps playing on the same team together next year?) from any time period. Is it any surprise they also have a keen fashion sensibility? Here are two pictures that i culled from recent articles – the first, which directly confronts the hot pink pants, and the second which discusses Nash’s business savvy.

This video introduces the concept of the “anthropocene,” which attempts to contexualize the total impact of the human species in terms of geological time.

Thomas Pogge and global fairness - The Philosopher's Zone - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

This show is quickly becoming one of my favorites. This episode is a conversation about global justice and moral philosophy. The guest, philosopher Thomas Pogge, does a good job of explaining the Immanual Kant’s “categorical imperative” concept and John Rawls “original position” as a precursor for creating a just society.

We are living in an isolation that would have been unimaginable to our ancestors, and yet we have never been more accessible. Over the past three decades, technology has delivered to us a world in which we need not be out of contact for a fraction of a moment… within this world of instant and absolute communication, unbounded by limits of time or space, we suffer from unprecedented alienation. We have never been more detached from one another, or lonelier. In a world consumed by ever more novel modes of socializing, we have less and less actual society. We live in an accelerating contradiction: the more connected we become, the lonelier we are. We were promised a global village; instead we inhabit the drab cul-de-sacs and endless freeways of a vast suburb of information.

Facebook Offers More Disclosure to Users - NYTimes.com

“We welcome that Facebook users are now getting more access to their data, but Facebook is still not in line with the European Data Protection Law,” said Mr. Schrems, a student at the University of Vienna. “With the changes, Facebook will only offer access to 39 data categories, while it is holding at least 84 such data categories about every user.”

The US and Maldives endure the long, hot March of climate change | Amy Goodman

The Pentagon knows it. The world’s largest insurers know it. Now, governments may be overthrown because of it. It is climate change, and it is real. According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, last month was the hottest March on record for the United States since 1895, when records were first kept, with average temperatures of 8.6F above average. More than 15,000 March high-temperature records were broken nationally. Drought, wildfires, tornadoes and other extreme weather events are already plaguing the country.
