supernumerary··on A Rare-Book Thief Who Looted College Libraries in the ’80s
Larcenous provenances are very common when dealing in antiquities. I imagine much of the looting be it - from public libraries or ancient cities is justified with the thought: 'I simply value it more.'
supernumerary··on The Man Who Got Americans to Eat Pollock
Having fished Pollock I can confirm that they are typically riddled with nematodes, not sure why, perhaps it's their diet - the article notes they are "ground fish" which might be a euphemism for bottom feeders.

Generally, I think the historical low-value of some fish is a product of fishermen being enmeshed with the markets and communities where the fish they catch is sold. We have lost that for the most part, and therefore lower quality fish becomes salable, particularly if it is heavily processed (hence the fast-food chains being the first to pick it up).

But yeah, you're eating worms buddy.

supernumerary··on Goldman Sachs: The Great American Bubble Machine (2009)
It's interesting that 'vampire squid' stuck though. Also his work with Mark Ames in Moscow at 'The Exile' through the 90s was stellar and very funny to read.

supernumerary··on US military intelligence agencies have influenced over 1,800 movies and TV shows
Considering Kathryn Bigelow, the director of 'the Hurt Locker', also did 'Zero Dark Thirty' in many respects, the non plus ultra C.I.A control and influence over hollywood, the 'Hurt Locker's' critical position is dubious. In fact it's worth noting that the C.I.A is so good at this that they are not beyond putting ostensibly damaging material or arguments in their films in order to refute them at a more fundamental level, or coming around to devour them more completely in some other film. As paranoid and wacky as it sounds, the general project of propaganda is a totality spread across the cultural field...

Finally it's worth noting that with the advent of widespread piracy, we have been forced to pay for our films / entertainment in other ways. A pirated movie still delivers its ideological payload, whether or not it's corporate interest determining the cars that feature in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise or the military industrial complex permitting a flock of Ospreys to feature prominently in a scene ...

supernumerary··on Attempt to Reverse a $55 Million Ether Heist
No one is asking for a rule. In fact - the conventional use of masculine pronouns that you're enforcing is perhaps the closest thing to a rule that's being imposed, albeit subconsciously. Bro.
supernumerary··on Attempt to Reverse a $55 Million Ether Heist
Basically 'Why not?' you wanting it to be a male makes no sense ... unless you get a kick out of casting yourself as a protagonist in this story ... in which case go figure.
