Program Announcement: I'm Moving
September 1, 2011
I've dropped some hints in the past that my relationship with ScienceBlogs would be...altered. Well, I've decided to leave. Mostly, it had to do with the issue of pseudonymity, although I'm very excited to hang out my own shingle once again. I don't want to rehash the issue of pseudonymity,…
Note to Unions: This Is Not How You Build a Coalition
September 1, 2011
The old saw that 'we hang together or we get hung separately' is a perfect description of how the left has disintegrated into irrelevance. Too often, groups will focus on modest gains for their own narrow constituency, while selling out other allies. Over the long term, each component of the…

Dropping Rocks: Los Angeles
So there's this alien invasion flick called Battle: Los Angeles. It's getting mixed reviews. Ebert hates it - "an insult to the words "science" and "fiction," and the hyphen in between them." With the caveats that his judgment is usually questionable, I haven't seen the movie, and I don't plan to see the movie, I'm thinking I'm relatively safe in trusting his opinion in this particular case. Now…
Quiz: Mars or Earth? (Synopsis)
"This is the plan. Get your ass to Mars, and go to the Hilton Hotel and flash the fake Brubaker I.D. at the front desk, that's all there is to it." -Hauser, Total Recall There are many locations on Earth that look like they’d be right at home on another world. While from space, it’s incredibly evidence how different Mars and Earth are when you view the entire world, there are places on Earth that…
