I say to the grown-ups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that’s fine, but don’t make your kids do it, because we need them.

Bill Nye, Mama, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Deny Evolution (via Big Think)


I HEART BILL NYE SO MUCH!!!  BILL NYE and NEIL DeGRASSE TYSON are my Gods.  Bitches.

Track Santa's Flight Around the World

usagov:

On Christmas Eve, NORAD tracks Santa on his trip around the globe. 

I know I sound like a MASSIVE KILLJOY but this annoys me. Can we please stop lying to children? Seriously, I just don’t understand why we tell children that the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Santa are real until they’re ‘old enough’ to figure out we’re full of shit.  Share the stories…but tell them as fairy tales not as truth.  Sheesh.

Tim Minchin is brilliant.  And censoring him is pretty much the stupidest thing one can do.  Have people *really* not heard of the Streisand Effect?

The report (about the Seattle police force) found that a relatively small number of officers accounted for much of the problem, but that is always the case. It’s not that most police officers are bad, it’s that those who are rarely are held accountable for their actions. When they are accused, the internal investigations tend to be shoddy at best and outright coverups at worst. Even when they are found guilty of misconduct they rarely face any serious punishment. And in the rare instance that a cop is actually fired over such things, the union will fight, often successfully, to get their job back.

About

Avatar Another attempt to organize my diverse interests and show off my pictures and ideas. I like a ton of different things. Owls. Cephalapods. Art. Cats. Hiking. Fat Acceptance. Health at Every Size. Netflix. Bad movies. Science Fiction and Fantasy. History. Science. Atheism. etc. etc. etc.

I'm a thirty something married chick with three cats and a life that's pretty boring. I'd someday like to be doing *more*. Like everyone else...
