Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm » PCR has Been fined $10,000 by the FCC!:

This is such incredible bullshit. 13 freaking years, the support of the community *and* the Board of Supervisors. I guess the FCC knows what’s *really* good for us. Fucking ass holes.

Lenore Skenazy: As Goes Halloween, So Goes Childhood

Lenore Skenazy: As Goes Halloween, So Goes Childhood:

It’s not that I’m cavalier about safety. I’m just a sucker — so to speak — for the facts. And the fact is: No child has been poisoned by a stranger’s goodies on Halloween, ever.

I’m happily surprised by HufPo’s reader comments. Only one that I read “disagreed with the author;” completely ignoring the facts. Had this blog been about vaccinating your children, of course, the response would have been completely the opposite.

WhovianNet - The Waters of Mars airdate revealed!:

The air date for the next Doctor Who special, The Waters of Mars, has been confirmed! It’s November 15th! Which gives us *just* over a month between it and the X-mas special. Woohoo!

I’ve started reading John Allison’s (Creator of Scary Go Round) new comic, Bad Machinery. It’s really quite good so far. Better (in both art and story) than SGR, in fact.

Google Wave: we came, we saw, we played D&D - Ars Technica

Google Wave: we came, we saw, we played D&D - Ars Technica:

Give a bunch of computer geeks a new medium to play around in, and you could probably guess that the first thing they’d think to do with it is… no, not that, we’re talking role-playing games.

This is such a remarkably cool idea. I love you, my nerds and geeks.

Oh… I also love that they’re playing Mouse Guard. It seems it would be particularly good for narrative RPGs and story games.

"An Epidemic of Fear." Wired takes on the anti-vax movement | MetaFilter:

“Wired profiles pediatrician Paul Offit, co-creator of the RotaTeq rotavirus vaccine and a primary target of the anti-vaccination movement. Dr. Offit published a book,“Autism’s False Prophets” in 2008 but didn’t tour, because he had received too many death threats.”

I want you to really think about that last bit. Death threats. Think about what this guy has done for the world, and think about where we, as a society, have gotten to by allowing our strongly held beliefs to be so important that we believe the justify threats and even actions of death and violence.

I linked to the MeFi post rather than the wired article because there are a lot of good links showing how bad this shit has gotten.

Rachel gets it right (as she usually does). In summary: Fox news should be considered a “political organization in opposition to the current administration,” not because of its right-leaning opinion; but because it actively promotes, organizes, and sponsors political protests.
