HJM has an essay up at 7S webzine on drinking.
Jason Wirth reviews Devin Shaw's book on Schelling. Hopefully one day his book will get into paperback so the rest of us will need to read it.
Over at Critical Legal Thinking is an interesting post on Sovereignty & its Ground.

I don't have anything really interesting to share about this, but here is an article that argues that Utilitarians have some sort of sociopath tendencies.
Lastly, here is your safety tip reminder of the day. Figure out some basic cloud security and do it.
