It’s Saturday, so I have some things for you to click on.

Social Justice

  * [Billy Corgan upset that "the wrong racial epithet" could destroy his career](http://boingboing.net/2016/05/13/billy-corgan-upset-that.html) -- I think the solution to this one is staring you in the face: _don't use racial epithets._ It's not even hard.
  * [This sexist dress code poster compares girls to meat](http://bust.com/feminism/16287-sexist-poster-that-compares-girls-to-meat-causes-uproar-in-arizona-high-school.html) -- Student makes a poster that suggests letting girls dress however they want distracts boys and sends boys down a path to career destruction. Who knew women were so powerful and men so weak? The real issue here is a student picking up those kinds of messages in the first place.
  * [Beware of these 7 popular chocolate brands that exploit child slaves](http://usuncut.com/news/beware-of-these-10-popular-chocolate-brands-that-exploit-child-slaves/) -- There's no reason to support this kind of behavior in this day and age, and boycotting particular chocolate suppliers isn't that difficult, either.

Politics

  * [Anti-Donald Trump forces gear up for third-party challenge](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-third-party-challenge_us_5732392de4b016f3789758e7?ymh32f0fwnjv4y4x6r) -- This should be fun. The continued implosion of the GOP continues.
  * [Former Facebook workers: we routinely suppressed conservative news](http://gizmodo.com/former-facebook-workers-we-routinely-suppressed-conser-1775461006?rev=1462798096684&utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow) -- As is the company's right, of course. It's their playground. But then they should have been honest about it, instead of suggesting that their "trending topics" were obtained solely from user traffic.
  * [The aspiring novelist who became Obama's foreign policy guru](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/08/magazine/the-aspiring-novelist-who-became-obamas-foreign-policy-guru.html?rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fmagazine&action=click&contentCollection=magazine&region=rank&module=package&version=highlights&contentPlacement=2&pgtype=sectionfront&_r=2) -- A profile of Ben Rhodes, who all but controls how the media perceives Obama's foreign policy actions.
  * [Why the Ben Rhodes profile in the New York _Times_ Magazine is just gross](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/book-party/wp/2016/05/06/why-the-ben-rhodes-profile-in-the-new-york-times-magazine-is-just-gross/) -- In case you thought the author and subject of the previous piece were too chummy.
  * [Why the 2016 election cycle could be the start of a totalitarian strain in US politics](http://www.salon.com/2016/05/07/why_the_2016_election_cycle_could_be_the_start_of_a_totalitarian_strain_in_u_s_politics/) -- The rise of the Trump demographic does indeed make for troubling times.
