A chart showing the changing political positions of US political parties since 1789. I'd love to see something similar for the UK. (via Kottke)

Description of plans for the west end of Smithfield Market. I am never optimistic about these things.

James Meek · How We Happened to Sell Off Our Electricity · LRB 13 September 2012

Plenty of people linked to this at the time, but I forgot. Now I am. A good read on who now owns the UK's power.

The Gay Path Through the Courts by David Cole | The New York Review of Books

Subscribers only unfortunately. But I liked this for its descriptions of how the Supreme Court rules on things, and how cases that are ostensibly about a particular crime are used to force a decision on constitutional issues. Also about how the Court tries (ideally) to follow, rather than lead, society.

Not sure I'll ever need this, but Matt Biddulph has collected useful things he's found while getting to grips with this stuff, and I love it when people share their learning like that.
