Wednesday evening roundup

Sometimes accidental shootings are funny (i.e., when a dude shoots his junk off) and sometimes they are stupidly tragic.

Norway's first-world environmental problem. Seattle's fake superhero problem.

The less you know, the stronger your opinion.

Things that give us hope in the nation's youth: a kid who got an asteroid named after an Ancient Egyptian deity. Which brings us into the travesty of defunding science. Which brings us to how I'm too dumb to appreciate IBM's atomic film. Also, did you know that the ancient Babylonians found Pi?

Boots bets that girls will choose pink over science. Girl gets charged with a felony for science and "bad" judgment. Diane Sawyer slut-shames Amanda Knox and questions her about being clueless in her youth. Good for Ireland Baldwin for holding her own (though I would be lying if I didn't say I wished for better grammar; still, she's 17... she has time to develop it). Can't kids f* around anymore and figure themselves out without seriously life-altering consequences?

GMO has bred superweeds but has not driven farmers to suicide. PS244 goes all-veg. If you eat ground turkey, you don't want to know what Consumer Reports has found. Food workers fight for their rights.

Your brain on meditation.

Someone tried to name their kid 'Anal.'

Giles Harvey on the rise(?) of the failure memoir.
