Monday evening roundup

Tragedy in a photo essay: child laborers in Haiti.

The future of coal-fired power plants.

A marine's two cents on umbrella-gate (see the text below the cartoon).

The vitriol of trolls (do say that five times fast) never ceases to amaze me, but what's predictable is their wrath at women taking control of their lives. They're so threatened by the fact that women have choices, including the choice not to respond to (much less date) assholes.

Check out the last of these images and then read about ostrich sex.

Practice won't make you great at some things.

I love science and I just like the sound of the word "positron," but these Japanese videos are scary.

Stars are just like us (because we're made from the same stuff).

The food industry explains it all.

Dierdre Imus takes to Fox News to endorse veganism. It's awesome, but I wonder whether she knows her audience, given that she's citing environmental arguments.

Rom-coms alienated women to their own detriment.
