The stakes are high, for as the Supreme Court noted years ago, American democracy requires ‘the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources.'” [sethf]

Hi. I’ve been updating my links page, removing links about books, adding links about blogs. It’s still far from comprehensive [maybe I can get my RSS feed linked in there too] but it’s neat to see people getting their own domains over time, and amazing to see old time blog-style sites like What’s Gnu still at it.
