I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Linkee-poo says "get out and vote"

John Joseph Adams levels up by buying Fantasy and Lightspeed magazines (of which he was the editor). Congrats, John. We expect good things. (Grokked from Camille Alexa)

Ken McConnell release his latest novel, Starforgers. It's a steal at $2.99 (and then it will be $4.99).

Well, given that the coverup conspiracy theorists who started the "tell us all you know about ET's on Earth, Obama" petition already think there is a coverup, this probably won't mollify them at all. (Grokked from Teresa Nielsen Hayden)

"Thompson notes that several studies point to the issue that high school and college digital natives are really wretched at searching. They are not in the habit of thinking critically about information. The do not assess the credibility of their sources." Yes, that. I can't tell you how many discussions I've had surrounding this. My wife teaches this in some of her classes. She often used the Dihydrogen Monoxide warning site as an example. (Grokked from Tobias Buckell)

Dear conservative activist groups, including the Family Research Council, you look like idiots when you not only support, but honor deadbeat dads by giving them your "100%" certification. I think you don't understand your actual values. (Grokked from Jay Lake)

Eugenics programs surviving until the 70s? You want to be afraid of the government, there you go. (Grokked from Tobias Buckell)
