[links] Link salad walks along and wonders
Chilly temperatures foster cancer growth in mice - And we've been doing a lot of cancer studies at lower temperatures. (Via Dratz is Old.)
Sceith Ailm’s Beautiful Lord of the Rings Themed Tarot Cards - Wow, these are cool. (Via Lisa Costello.)
Black Swallower - Ick. (Via Daily Idioms, Annotated.)
Rapture prophets can’t celebrate 50th anniversaries - The wishful thinking and willful ignorance of Christianists. Sadly for all of us, idiocy like this drives much of one of our major political parties.
On Suicide and Guns - Ah, the magic of causal links. Sigh.
The Case of Renisha McBride - I believe that we live in a country that justifies killing in response to someone "banging" on your door. I hope I am wrong. It is sickening to believe myself right. It is sickening to see a polite society submit to gun law.
Official releasing what appears to be original court file authorizing NSA to conduct sweeps
NBC journalist says live on air: ‘Someone should sh*t in Sarah Palin’s mouth’ - To say I don’t think much of the standard bearer for the Dunning-Kruger wing of the GOP’s Tea Party astroturf subsidiary is a vast understatement, but, um, this? No. She deserves basic social respect, regardless of the fact that she holds none for others. (Via David Goldman.)
