Legalizing Tyranny
I couldn’t get to sleep last night thinking about the torture/detention legislation that got scared through Congress yesterday. We are a country ruled by a President who has seized the power to break the law in multiple ways while virtually nothing is done about it. Yesterday, we formally vested the power in the President to […]

Researchers Recreate Sense of ‘Being Watched'
Reported in Nature: When the patient sat up, leaned forward and clasped her knees, she felt that the figure was also sitting, embracing her in its arms – a feeling she described as “unpleasant”. The temporoparietal junction is known to be involved in creating the concept of ‘self’, and the distinction between ‘self’ and ‘other’. […]

I went through about four batches of Sea Monkeys as a kid. I even spilled them on this kid that was allergic to salt water and got hives. Turns out the founder of Sea Monkeys was founding funder of anti-Semitic groups like the Aryan Nation – even though he was also Jewish. (via Mefi thread)

Groovin' Friday with Beatrix Kiddo and Laundry Denial
Friday already. I feel like I’ve done a lot but I feel like I haven’t done anything. We’re currently trying to get all the courses scheduled for the rest of the year and ready for deployment. I think it’ll be fun for me to not be making all new content and simply focus on delivery. […]

Homophobes Are Obsessed With Butt Sex
I just had to say that out loud. Or rather, in print. I think homophobes are gay. Really. Anyone that is that obsessed with other people’s genitals has a big problem with their own. Stories that gay men show their love by drinking eachother’s urine. Ha. Ron never drinks out of a water bottle after […]

HOWTO: Make Sure Black/Poor People Can't Vote
Enforcing voters to present a valid photo ID when they go to vote in federal elections seems like a great idea on the face of it. But: If an ID costs $30 and blacks are less likely to have $30 and a spare couple hours to get the ID, and blacks are more likely to […]
