240 <summary type="text">A cute and positive LGBT romance movie is a rare treat! Unfortunately, The Thing About Harry isn’t available to international audiences outside the U.S.</summary>
241 <content type="html"><p>The Thing About Harry may seem like your average romance flick, and it is, and that’s also what makes it noteworthy. In The Thing About Harry, boy meets boy, and it happens without the typical tragic backstory, emotional scarring, violence, death and disease, or personal; familiar; and societal disapproval and alienation that usually feature so prominently in gay-interest movies. Instead, the movie’s conflict comes from the main characters’ own insecurities and immaturity. — you know, like in your typical straight romance movie.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/thing-about-harry-availability.html#src=feed">Read more …</a></p></content>

251 <summary type="text">It doesn’t matter if great information exists if no one can access it. “The Truth is Paywalled; but the Lies are Free.” Can micro-payments save news and the web?</summary>
252 <content type="html"><p>A piece in Current Affairs resonated strongly with me: The Truth is Paywalled; but the Lies are Free. The premise of the piece is simple: access to journalistic institutions and academic journals is restricted by paywalls; but hogwash, regurgitated rubbish, and conspiracy theories are available for free. The <em>institutions of truth</em> seem to be too busy erecting paywalls to notice that they’re loosing the market to those that manage to operate without direct payments.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/lower-the-paywalls.html#src=feed">Read more …</a></p></content>
