Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Milk allergy is the most common form of food allergy found in humans, but you don’t have one and neither does your baby : Greg Laden’s Blog – Some interesting info for new mothers (and, well, pretty much everyone else, too).
- Chrysler announces battery-free hydraulic hybrid tech, compresses gas to make power – Cool …
- This is not a case about abortion
- Atheist Tribes – Tribes have value. But they have dangers. When we spend a lot of time talking about Them (as opposed to us, not regarding giant ants), and how They are out to get us, and how We have to beat Them before They beat Us … then, regardless of how you are defining Us vs Them (religion, political party, nation, color, language, economic class), then you’re potentially part of the problem. And you’re encouraging Them to see you as part of Their Them, too.
- Froomkin: Obama’s willingness to cut Social Security is ‘killing him with voters’: Joe Sudbay (DC)
- Wikileaks volunteer detained and searched yet again at airport: Xeni Jardin
- Anderson Cooper Takes Rep. Steve Cohen To Task For Comparing Republicans To Nazis – This demonstrates the fuzzy gray area of what constitutes hateful or uncivil speech. Yes, comparing your opponents to Nazis is unhelpful. But is it okay to quote Goebbels without attribution (“It’s been said that …”)?
