Amanda Marcotte’s Idiocy About Men And Babies
Hey, she deserves it, but really, this is just cruel.
The AGU Statement On Climate Change
…and Roger Pielke’s response.
It’s shameful the way that scientific societies have become politicized.
Larva Breeders
Ummmmmm…no. Just no.
Though they might be useful in space.
Don’t Stare, And Avoid The Big Smile
An interesting article about dating on the autism spectrum. I have some of these problems, but only mildly.
A Great Flood
…shall punish the climate deniers! But don’t call it a religion. It’s science!
You can tell cuz they have fake graphs and maps and stuff.
Search And Rescue In Tenaya Canyon
There are some lessons to be learned here. We were just up there ourselves a couple weeks ago. People don’t realize how rugged it can get coming down from the high country into Yosemite Valley, even though most of the routes are pretty well known after many decades of hiking/climbing. Without modern tech (cell phones and helicopters), they might have died from exposure up there, even in the summer.

…are not normal people. And I don’t mean that in a good way. This is even more stupid than the brouhaha over the word “niggardly” in DC a few years ago.

Ignoring all of the Feminazi sociological issues, this would never happen to me, because of my acrophobia. No, I don’t lean against railings on high buildings. That’s one of the least likely ways for me to cease metabolizing.
The Treatment For Islamicists In Egypt
…has changed for the worse.
Good. Maybe there’s some hope for that benighted country, and region, despite the support of it from this administration.
