9:52 pm	August 1968 The Ogre does what ogres can, Deeds quite impossible for Man, But one prize is beyond his reach: The Ogre cannot master speech. About a subjugated plain, Among it's desperate and slain, The Ogre stalks with hands on hips, While drivel gushes from his lips. -- W.H.Auden (Comment on this)

11:31 am	Survey: Support for terror suspect torture differs among the faithful (And by "differs" they mean, "supported") http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/04/30/religion.torture/ Here's a positive message about atheism: atheists are LESS likely to support the use of torture on terror suspects than people who profess faith.

9:25 pm	Great Pic! "whiteknot.org" is a website that is trying to bring visibility to the issue of marriage equality (think "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree"). Although this may seem like thin gruel in relation to the immensity of the cause (2000 years of homophobia vs. a lump of ribbon) here is a wonderful image of the people who informed my (and maybe your) childhood. Yes. Bob, Linda, Maria, Gordon and Luis all support marriage equality. (Bert, Ernie, Elmo and Big Bird were unavailable for comment, but I bet you can guess as to their sentiments).

9:12 am	In Honor of Darwin's Birthday ...and anyone who ever argued with their Creationist relatives: "People who are incompetent not only have an inflated sense of their own competence, but are also incapable of even recognizing competence. Take for example this figure from the paper. It's pretty self-explanatory: What's even more amazing is that when (the people who did the study) then shared the performance of other participants with the people who performed poorly (hoping that they would then adjust their self-perception downward) people who scored poorly failed to adjust their self-perception of their performance. In other words, they are completely unaware of their own competence, and can't detect competence in others. Now, doesn't this explain a lot?" (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:14 pm	Denialism defeated by replication and journalism. Yay Science! It seems the ASD MMR link was made up from the very beginning: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/booster_shots/2009/02/british-doctor.html Which surprises no one who actually works in the field but is going to piss off a lot of people who exploit the developmentally disabled and their families by selling them snake oil, false hope and pseudoscience. In celebration of 'Science Will Win if Religion Doesn't Fucking Kill Us All First' Day, here is a link to a really great article on denialism and crankery. Warning: if you haven't eaten your sacred cows yet, you may want to avoid. http://scienceblogs.com/denialism/about.php In the UK there were 56 cases of Measles in 1998 and last year there was over 1300, including 2 deaths. Of fucking measles! Measles! In the UK, not some African demilitarized zone! WTF? Current Mood: pissed off (3 Comments |Comment on this)
