This morning we’ve got some technological links as well as their meat-made brethren. Enjoy. 

  • Milwaukee is somewhat of an anomaly, and not in a flattering way. Milwaukee’s public transit system is receiving less use, and more importantly, less funding than other city transit systems of a comparable size. 
  • The men aboard the missing Malaysian Airlines flight who used stolen passports to board it have no ties to terrorist organizations, says an Interpol official.

  • Activists have filed a lawsuit against Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, which the country’s president signed into law on Feb. 24.
