... Sadly, reminds me of people who "support" equality for women but won't call themselves feminist, because they think that means "shrill".

Sounds like @neiltyson doesn't believe in god, but won't call himself an "atheist" to avoid getting into arguments...

Dark humour: "... the incestuous nature of the British ruling class and the gene puddle from which it draws its stock."

A web of privilege supports this so-called meritocracy
Shortly after Mitt Romney's failed 2008 campaign for the Republican nomination his son Tagg set up a private equity fund with the campaign's top fundraiser. One of the first donors was his mum, Anne. Next came several of his dad's financial backers.

Interesting essay by Charles Stross about the effect on the SF/F genre resulting from book sales shifting to the web.

The death of genre - Charlie's Diary
This is not the blog entry you are expecting. Science Fiction literature is unusual in that much of the work within the field exists in constant dialog with other works. Author A writes something; Author B reads it and writes something else by way of an oblique rejoinder.
