This anarchist analysis of the 1916 rising and the Irish War of Independence has some interesting points of view that I had not heard before. The author claims for example that the reason that the British agreed to come to terms with Sinn Fein is that they were terrified of much more radical left-wing movements in Ireland and Britain.

San Francisco Airport

On Sunday evening I arrived at SFO with plenty of time to spare. Unfortunately our plane to London sprung a pressurization leak and we had to wait in the airport for two hours while they brought us a new plane from Denver.
This is what I worked on last year.
