Why stumble? To express solidarity, outrage, disgust, and amusement. I'm letting my opinion be heard. At the same time this is also a great place to find hilarious images and keep track of those websites you know you'll want to find later on.
I can also be found elsewhere.

Rationally Speaking: On the difference between science...
Rated • 2 reviews • philosophy, scientism • blogspot.com
From the page: "Now, it seems to me obvious, but apparently it needs to be stated that: a) philosophy and science are two distinct activities (at least nowadays, since science did start as a branch of philosophy called natural philosophy); b) they work by different methods (empirically-based hypothesis testing vs. reason-based logical analysis); and c) they inform each other in an inter-dependent fashion (science depends on philosophical assumptions that are outside the scope of empirical validation, but philosophical investigations should be informed by the best science available in a range of situations, from metaphysics to ethics and philosophy of mind)." -
Did Jayron Martin's High School Principals Do Nothing to...
Rated • 1 review • lgbt • queerty.com
From the page: "From the terrifying world of school bullying, and common wisdom that school administrators do nothing to stop it comes this story from Houston high school freshman Jayron Martin, who was beaten with a metal pipe after school by a classmate while eight others watched â€" and it only stopped when a man who saw the attack from his home whipped out a shotgun. All because the other kids accused Jayron of being gay. But perhaps the worst part, beyond the cuts and bruises and cracks? That the attack might have been prevented: Jayron's assault went down after he told two of his principals and bus driver about the planned attack before it happened; a classmate tipped him off." -

How ABC News Brian Ross Cooked His Hasan Contacted Al...
Rated • 1 review • politics, journalism • gawker.com
From the page: "What's particularly maddening about Ross' hype is that it had already been well established that Al-Awlaki was the imam at Hasan's Virginia mosque in 2001. Hasan's mother's funeral services were held there at the time. While it hadn't been definitively established that Hasan had ever met Al-Awlaki, it was abundantly clear that the two men were in one another's orbits and that Hasan likely heard him preach. That wasn't reported as a "contact with al Qaeda," but once Ross got his hands on the fact that Hasan sent e-mails to his former imam, who had a web site with a comment form, he turned it into a blockbuster story."
