Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Kevin Kelly: Argument in favor of AI Fair Use. I'm OK with this in the abstract but in the real world it could be used for outright stealing. Is it fair use to change just a word in a joke or a tweet?

- From the archives: Montaigne's rule for reading.

- Why the AfD wins. Good history and background on the popularity of the AfD. (HT Execupundit)
