I've followed it on twitter despite my hatred of the service generally. Tom Send a noteboard - 21/08/2011 11:37:32 PM
In the US no one really noticed the story until about an hour ago, and I knew it because I always monitored the live blogs at the Guardian and al-Jazeera (despite hating their politics).

I switched to Twitter because it is faster but admittedly less reliable.

South African planes were supposedly at Tripoli airport. Leave it to South Africa to stay classy and support tyrants and butchers in the name of "anti-imperialism".
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
