[META] Blogroll update!

[rfmcdonald]

After much too long, I've updated my blogroll on Dreamwidth/Livejournal and on Wordpress, removing defunct blogs and adding four new ones.

• Arnold Zwicky's Blog is the blog of a smart gay linguist. One post I liked was his examination of linguist John Holm, and how his sexuality and his partner were ignored in the Bahamas whose language he had documented.


• Dangerous Minds is an eclectic examination of different things in pop culture. One thing there I liked was the linkage to a Eurythmics performance in 1983, live at London gay club Heaven.


• The LRB Blog is the blog of the London Review of Books. Hugh Pennington's examination of the use of polonium to kill Litvinenko is a recent chilling example of the short scholarship.


• The NYR Daily is the blog of the New York Review of Books. Garry Wills's look at the people who want to postpone the appointment of a new justice to the US Supreme Court after Scalia's death is good.
