As normal, these were the 10 most read pieces in September. Not all of them were written in September; older pieces that have temporarily become "evergreen" will be described with a bit more detail. And, since I usually write this out a couple of days in advance, this was as of Oct. 2.
We'll cut to the chase and do No. 1 and 2 first, then do the Letterman-style countdown for the others.
At No. 1, I said that another shoe partially dropped at Southwest Airlines, in a partial cave-in to the vulture capitalists at Elliott Investment Management.
No. 2 was the backstory to that, that another shoe was about to drop.
No. 10 was a third-party update including Brainworm Bobby's dropping out.
No. 9? My take on the pseudo-Trots and actual Zionist genocide supporters at the Socialist Workers Party.
No. 3, to skip, was related, an Aug. 30 third-party update, signal posted by Cort Greene, a diehard member of the SWP cult.
No. 8? Going meta, it was the top blogging of August. Among items trending in that was that third party update, Photoshop-skewering Shepard Fairey, mocking Scott Ritter and more.
No. 7? I noted that Grist and Fast Company had sharply divergent takes on the present and future of "fake food"; Grist's take makes me wonder if it's not playing Yevgeny Morozov's "solutionism," or what I call "salvific technologism."
No. 6? Inspired by a subreddit, my rhetorical question about if US national parks should have free entrance gets a firm no from me.
No. 5? Back to electoral politics, as the Texas Trib had a semi-failure in its look at independent voters.
No. 4? I looked at how the Twitterverse (where I no longer am) was quick to weaponize anti-Chinese thought, and otherwise spread misinformation, on the Israeli booby-trapped pagers.
