Slush and sleet. Winter sucks.
* Female desire
* Old Newsweek article on the Bible and gay marriage
* Old Chomsky interview on anarchism; as vague as most things on anarchism I see, plus talk of "spiritual transformation".
** I saw someone say today that the anarchist conception of the state is of minority (including traditional elected representatives) ruling a majority, and that if I think of their vision not as no-state but as direct-democratic state it'd make more sense. That does help, though at the same time they often talk about direct representation, which I favor but isn't clearly not-minority, and of having no money, which makes no sense.
* Using plants in RPGs.
* Urban farming
* Mercury found in corn syrup
* Kansas GOP: cut the school budgets!
* Yesterday's Krugman column, Bad Faith Economics, was listed on the front page as "Bad Economics". Also appropriate, but an interesting difference.
* No unified theory for mass extinctions. Impact here, vulcanism there and there, glaciation over there...
* Caltech's magazine "Engineering and Science has an article (PDF) on the crisis, by two Caltech economists.
* Tracking Obama campaign promises
* Perspectives (by a nuanced pro-lifer) on birth control, abortion, and adoption in the Philippines.
* 1990s crack baby epidemic: didn't happen.
* Babies eat dirt for health
* Wikipedia on the IUD. I'd never known much about them. Seem pretty effective, even usable as emergency contraception, oddly unpopular in the US.
