It seems that one of the qualifications for having a country represented at the Winter Olympics is that it had to own colonies at one point in its existence, while the Summer Olympics are opened up to all of those living slightly south of the border who were the colonies. The Winter Games have always been a party for the rich nations and this year was certainly no different.

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
