Genocidal care bears. It’s wrong I tell, wrong.
This ad made me chuckle.
A prison program based on beagle power.
Guys, if you don’t like 300 there are consequences. One reviewer really hates it.
Sex: apparently the Japanese are doing it less and less. But we know more about British sexual fantasies.
Advice on choosing your first person carefully when writing. The larger essay it was taken from.
The Pentagon is working on scanning the brain so as to adjust computer input. Then there’s its human enhancement program. Talking about what you feel/believe “in your gut” may be a bit more than a metaphor. While lice are apparently the fault of gorillas.
Study finds that British drug classifications (which seem pretty standard) show no connection to the actual harmfulness of various drugs. A useful ranking of the drugs. More.
Wondering about who speaks for the child: When parenthood exists as a creation of the state, the boundaries of state power become difficult to discern.

And that is far too many people exist on this planet.
Michael Crichton on complexity and false reporting. (I intended to link to this in a previous post, but didn’t-now fixed.)
Criticising South Africa for failing to pressure Mugabe. Links on the decay of Zimbabwe.
