1. I was doing housecleaning on the blog and found a post from last spring about how to interpret the gender gap in wages (between men and women, that is). It's a pretty good one for clarifying how to interpret the gross gap (or how not to interpret it).

3. Our Supreme Leader is very thin-skinned, because he is a narcissist (see narcissistic rage), not because he feels as if the truly elite circles won't admit him. This article argues the latter. It's not completely wrong, of course, because the narcissistic personality disorder might be caused by a person's early life experiences. But most mature individuals don't huff and puff and flounce off when their feelings are hurt, only to express their displeasure on Twitter.
