Damning report, but also not really surprising.

Nothing is as green as it seems.

The difference in training, especially regarding guns raised, is striking. Feels influenced by TV.

Interesting correlations, but mostly just confirmational.

Shocker that Walker only cares about short term of projects for his constituency. Such a waste.

DOOOOOM. I think we're high enough in The Couve. I should ask about seismic rating.

I need to read some Black Panther.

It's striking how much confirmation bias is at work - science works when it shows what you already believe, and is flawed when it doesn't (or is performed by people you don't like). I've always felt that climate deniers seem more concerned about who advocates for the environment or hypothetical economic impacts than what the science shows.

Depressing view of climate scientists on the future in the anthropocene.

Interesting comparison, although I think a stretch... Then again, conservatives did it first to make Obergefell sound terrible.

Great summary that I mostly agree with. I remember liking Brave when I saw it but now I mostly have forgotten it.

A good summary of how fluid our definitions of race have been over the centuries for the purposes of defining Other.

I even studied this era thoroughly and didn't know this detail about the contamination.

"Cat videos and Star Trek fan fiction may not hold up long beside Toni Morrison." Some good ideas. If never heard of Hirsch. Not sure I could come up with 10 alone.

I find the headline possessive ambiguous, but otherwise some challenging points on white power in America.

Hahaha. Of course Picard wins.

Thoughts from the pastor who married Joanne and Kari.

Excellent points on anti-gay churches in the US.

It's worse than I realized. Glad my curiosity never led me into that cesspool.

A moving summary that contextualizes the sudden progress in recent days.

Amusing how quickly he converges on intransitive graphs of marriages.

Some good sense disambiguation from one of my former professors on "establish" in PPACA which was a big part of Scalia's dissent.

Heh. Captures the spirit, I think.

Huge historical decision. Kennedy's language is definitely written for future quotability. The dissents are weird though - Roberts is inconsistent with his spirit of the law interpretation in King v. Burwell, Scalia is mad at redefinition of equal protection, Thomas gives a history lesson on negative liberty, and Alito thinks it might be bad so don't?

I don't like the way he assumes all Christians oppose decision, but I like his points about this removing a barrier to ministering to LGBT people.

Some good points regarding narrative fallacies and how we like to fall for "just so" stories because they store easily.

Terrible. And yet not shocking that the government continues to defer to industry until conclusive proof of a linkage.

Come for the racist quotes from numerous historical figures making it clear that the Civil War was about slavery, stay for the X-Men reference.

Fascinating article on how to handle a future of non-work in a culture built on production and consumption.

She will have one of the hardest thesis defenses, in a way.
