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…

Never go anywhere unprepared
Shy about openly carrying condoms around your pocketbook? Well, hide them in a tasteful little case - a variety of styles, including, for those with a sense of humor and fun, these Kitty cases, pre-packaged with two condoms each: Conflict of Interest: this is Bride of Coturnix's store (look around for other items).

In which Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree's antivaccine documentary VAXXED is reviewed...with Insolence!
Well, I've finally seen it. The things I do for my readers, the pain to which I subject myself by watching neuron-apotosing levels of pseudoscience, misinformation, and lies as antivaccine propaganda, in order to deconstruct them for your amusement and, I hope, education! Yes, I've finally seen Andrew Wakefield and Del Bigtree's "documentary" VAXXED: From Cover-up to Catastrophe. Now, having…
What it took to get me to believe... in Dark Energy
This is what science is all about; getting thrown a curveball by Nature and plunging in to find out what's going on. -Andy Albrecht Imagine waking up in the morning and heading out into the sand dunes. They never look exactly the same from day to day. But each day that you go out, they'll look somewhat like this. You consider yourself smart and well-informed, and you have a sense of adventure.…
