In lieu of a more substantive post, here are some things that caught my eye over the last couple of days.

- Since the Chinese government runs the world's largest censorship regime, they of course have to publish directives to media about what they're not to publish. And of course, those directives are now regularly leaked... which kind of defeats the purpose. They make for fascinating reading. HT Bleeding Heart Libertarians.
- What's the first thing the world's newest country, South Sudan, should do? Give everyone over 12 some cash and establish universal catastrophic health coverage, apparently.
- Tim Carmody at Kottke.org tells us why we wanted to believe in fake Martin Luther King Jr quotes after OBL's assassination.
- Matt Yglesias on the economic integration of schools. I think this is a fascinating policy proposal and a worthwhile goal for public school systems
- An Australian cheerleader in the IPL has been sacked over her tell-all blog about players' behaviour behind the scenes.
Finally, here's Inception (one of the most overrated films in recent memory, in my opinion) explained via Mac OS X folders. Very clever.
