The week’s best links that we didn’t get to:

1. A federal judge has dismissed the Detroit city employee pension system’s challenge to the Emergency Financial Manager law.  Another challenge in the Ingham Circuit Court is ongoing.

2. An awesome post on Detroit from Magical Urbanism (and a followup post on street art in Sao Paolo)

3. UM’s own Elizabeth Anderson on the future of American liberty (and don’t forget to check out a past Consider issue that Anderson wrote for on much the same topic: Land of the Free?)

4. A pessimistic take on Occupy Wall Street

5. An open letter to guys (and girls!) about how to get laid without being a jerk

6. Though we face a possible double-dip recession, executive pay continues to rise.

7. Vladimir Putin has announced his intention to unite the former Soviet states in a Eurasian Union.

8. A map of same-sex couples around the country
