First RWA meeting, and Suhalia Salimpour — Cassie Alexander on, among other things, seeing yourself as a working author. Good thoughts on the transition from aspiration to pro-dom.
Voyager and the Will to Explore — Centauri Dreams on spacecraft longevity.
Close Encounters of the Buddhist Kind — An exclusive look inside a booming multibillion-dollar, evangelical, global Thai cult. Strange days indeed, but certainly no stranger than American megachurch evangelical Christianity. (Via Freakonomics.)

Clarence Thomas failed to report wife’s income, watchdog says — Conservatives are against activist judges, but love them unethical judges. So long as they vote right. Hint: What would Your Liberal Media, and the radio/tv talking heads, do with this story if it were the wife of a leading liberal jurist? (Via shsilver.)
