Astroenthusiasts got really excited last night, but the gamma ray burst was not to be.
Humans are a very distinct animal.
The animal-rights aware take on animal testing (and the case against cosmetic testing).
There's quite a selection of manosphere/misogyny articles out there, including the Ann Hornaday debates and Phil Plait's excellent take and less excellent comments. More links here, including this Daily Beast must-read:
We are not the lovable nerdy protagonist who’s lovable because he’s the protagonist. We’re not guaranteed to get laid by the hot chick of our dreams as long as we work hard enough at it. There isn’t a team of writers or a studio audience pulling for us to triumph by “getting the girl” in the end. And when our clever ruses and schemes to “get girls” fail, it’s not because the girls are too stupid or too bitchy or too shallow to play by those unwritten rules we’ve absorbed.
It’s because other people’s bodies and other people’s love are not something that can be taken nor even something that can be earned—they can be given freely, by choice, or not.
