I’ve read a few people on various blogs mention nuclear fission reactors as some sort of good alternative to fossil fuel power, and I’d like to say one teeny tiny thing:
WTF ARE YOU SMOKING!?
Did Katrina not happen? Did Iraq not happen? Did the various fuck ups and fubar government programs and policies not happen these [...]

Okay, so he doesn’t really give a flip about the blogosphere, but at least Hawking indicated he actually cares about the fact that we may die off in a century or so:
“New observational results and theoretical advances are coming in rapidly; cosmology is a very exciting subject. We are getting close to answering these old [...]

Amanda joined Chris Clarke and PZ Myers in poking Stephen Hawking for saying the following:
“It is important for the human race to spread out into space for the survival of the species,” Hawking said. “Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by a disaster, such as sudden global warming, nuclear [...]

Robin: Look, Batman! it’s the Joker!
Batman: Quick, Robin, into the batmobile!
[Robin slaps forehead]
Batman: What is it, lover old chum?
Robin: I forgot to fill it full of cow shit.
Okay, not technically cow shit, but the methane culled from it. This could be the future of alternative auto fuel, people.
I print the ABC [...]

Newsweek at MSNBC.com has an article about “extreme commuters,” or people who drive 90+ minutes one way to get to and from work. Ok, if these people won’t stand up and demand Japanese-style train-based public transportation, no one will. We are a nation of self-deluding crazy people.
As we’re pushed to the edge of [...]

By taking a goddamned cruise, you elitist pieces of shit.
Much love for Ms. Magazine for real, but if you want the cheddar, gangsta, you can get it by without excluding young, less-wealthy feminists, polluting the environment, and exploiting on-board workers who are overworked, underpaid, and trapped on a floating chunk of metal hell [...]

I’m just kidding-chickens and cattle will be around as long as we are, and not too terribly much longer. I just had a bison burger this afternoon that was fantabulous.
But if you’re an animal, and humans aren’t raising you for work or food, you are essentially fucked.
Overall, 16,119 species are included in this year’s [...]

The European Union is about to have a new battery recycling law:

It says a quarter of all used batteries must be collected by 2012 - rising to 45% by 2016 - and that at least half of them must be recycled.
This is just peachy, because batteries are just full of all kinds of unpleasant crap, [...]

We’re all going to die. Eventually, the sun will burn out and everything in the universe will disintegrate into a uniform haze of cold, dark, particles. I can’t fucking wait.
But we won’t be around to see it, because we are determined to shoot ourselves in the fucking face, first.
The truth is that climate [...]

I spent all day preparing and planting the garden, turning and spreading compost, and fretting over heirloom tomato plants. I came inside, sloughed the dirt off my hands into the keyboard, and watched this:

1) This is shit we ought to be taking seriously, and not just because of your heart pangs of liberal guilt. [...]

I continue to be disgusted with the Democratic Party’s failure to take a strong stand on any issue. Today the Party released the six-point “Democratic Vision:”
It promised:
_Honest and open government;
_Security;
_Energy independence;
_Economic prosperity and educational excellence;
_Expanded health care;
_Retirement security.
Oh my fucking god. That’s all you have to say?
The article points out that this is [...]
