"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Oops!

Decimal points matter: Two British students were nearly killed after they were accidentally given caffeine equivalent to 300 cups of coffee during a science experiment. Northumbria University has been fined pounds 400,000 ($660,000) for the incident in March 2015 which caused Alex Rossetto and Luke Parkin to be rushed to hospital and put on dialysis. […]

Steve Bannon, Andrew Breitbart and the ‘Humiliating Defeat’ of the Elite Media

  First, the quotes that are being quoted everywhere: “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while,” Mr. Bannon said during a telephone call. “I want you to quote this,” Mr. Bannon added. “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. […]

F–k You, @CAwkward

Jennifer Peepas, a/k/a “Captain Awkward.” Captain Awkward (@CAwkward on Twitter) is a feminist blog run by Jennifer Peepas, “a woman whose plan for paying back $100K in grad school debt is ‘be an indie filmmaker.’” It would be uncouth for me to sling personal putdowns at Ms. Peepas, and also unnecessary, as I’m sure the […]
