Today, I have the pleasure of announcing Tropes of the Times, the second weblog affiliated with Nonprofit Online News. In its role as the “Paper of Record” for the United States, the New York Times helps develop, reflect, and reinforce the mainstream ideologies and the thinking of our times. Tropes of the Times is a commentary on both the paper and those ideas, with some license to stray beyond when particularly outraged. It's written by my friend and mentor Phil Bereano, who is Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington, on the National Board of the American Civil Liberties Union, a founder of the Council for Responsible Genetics, and a recognized expert on the social and ethical dimensions of technology. It's a delight to be offering Phil's voice in this medium and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
