These are my shared links for May 7th through May 8th:

• Today in Great Opening Sentences; or, Happy Birthday, Pill! – awesome.
• Don't Forget About Nashville – Tennessee has a big clean-up ahead. Very sad.
• A night in Times Square, 1910 – The last time I was in Times Square I was shocked at how it had become bigger and brighter than before.
• Seattle U Professor Denied Job Over Sexual Orientation –
• This Does Not Bode Well for Body Scanners and Privacy – Then again, maybe we'll get over this idea that naked = sexy. Seriously, human bodies are mostly just "meh."
