No Rights For Anarchists

Is this blog banned in Russia?

Vladimir Putin

I’m not sure. But a friend of mine who’s currently in Kyrgyzstan, connecting to the internet through a Russian server, says he can’t access my blog. Of course it might just be a technical glitch. But maybe Putin is really, really averse to Doctor Who spoilers.

Closer to home, here in the u.s. of a. it turns out that being a “known and admitted anarchist” is grounds for denying someone’s request under the Freedom of Information Act. (CHT François T.)

My favourite bit: the authorities want the information they inadvertently released to be “returned.” I recall a similar request being made of Wikileaks. Our rulers don’t even grasp the concept of information.

SPOILER WARNING:

Doctor Who episode 6, “The Almost People,” aired in Britain today, but won’t air till next weekend in the u.s. (Memorial Day weekend is what’s putting things out of synch.) Of course there arrrgh other means of seeing it ….

But if you haven’t seen “The Almost People,” do not watch the following prequel and trailer for episode 7, “A Good Man Goes to War.”

SPOILER WARNING:

The following delightful clip is from the upcoming Doctor Who episode “The Almost People,” and so might be considered a spoiler:

The mere visual info above isn’t a spoiler to anyone who saw the end of the previous episode.

My speculation about the next episode could also be considered spoilerish and so I’ve relegated it to the comments section. Hence –
