mostly your standard civil libertarian objections, particularly how he apologized for stop-and-frisk as a necessary way to "collect fingerprints" of young people in minority communities. i'm not familiar with zimring's research tbh

yeah that was the big ?Like we should do stopandfrisk but "less invasively" and that's the answer? He doesn't quite explain what a less invasive form of s&f would be as i recall.

some good stuff in the new one, mainly the ones about the arms smuggler and the one about altruism in evolutionary biology. shouts and murmurs was kind of amusing again. thought the davos piece would be good but it was fairly boring, which i guess was kind of the point?

otm, but i thought that just how boring the davos attendees and event seemed was revealing in a perverse way. "drink up shriners!"
christian marclay profile in the new one is good

The Alice Munro story last week was good - it captured well that pre-feminism, passive-aggressive marriage dynamic of my grandparents' generation.

Yes. I looked up the author -- he's a writer for Colbert.
Looking forward to the Marclay profile -- I don't usually get the magazine until Wed.

It's a couple of issues old, but I liked the police dog story. Still, it seemed incomplete. I really wanted them to address the grieving process when dogs are killed in action, given all the allusions to dogs dying throughout the piece.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 21:33 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I was waiting for the same thing actually, seemed like it was going to address that at some point but then it just tailed off after the visit to one of the competitions.

Well, fwiw, I think the author spent too much time barking up the wrong tree. He could've really made his mark by following up on the grieving process. I bet some of those guys wept like fire hydrants. Oh well, he'll have a new tale to wag another day.

All of you otm, except lagoon (it sort of implies a mix of the negative reinforcement with the positive, no?). The article really emphasizes the police-dog-as-tool, which makes the end kind of poignant.
