Juan Cole has excellent advice. Apparently getting incensed and invading the wrong country is not the way to do it. Overreacting and blaming innocent and law abiding Muslims is not the way either because it plays straight into Al-Qaeda's plans.
What happened in Paris. The supposed reasons. How the cartoonists are reacting. French police have zeroed in on three men responsible for the attack.

Back to the old grind
Tracking Fukushima's contamination to US's Pacific coast
Bill Moyers does his 2014 In Memoriam. David Barry remembers 2014.
Things that people thought were real but were fake.
Our wonderful 50 states.
Eight books to lead you to enlightenment.
The NYPD has a temper tantrum.

And life goes on
Weird things asked of librarians.
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not Eureka! (I found it!) but rather, 'hmm... that's funny...'"
- Isaac Asimov
How to deal with narcissists.
The gender bias of toys.
Getting the 1%.
Regulations for pissing on Dick Cheney's grave.
Police: Explaining attitudes to Josh Marshall, explaining actions to a citizen of Nashville, getting an explanation of what Bill de Blasio talked about

Christmas contraceptives
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Excellent overview of 2014. Best science photos for 2014.
Weird methane readings on Mars... ALIENS!!!1
Bernie Sanders takes on the Koch brothers.
Saint Ronnie couldn't get elected dog catcher in these interesting teabaggery times...
Tampons may save your life...
If you can erase the word, the action never happened. Right?
Institutionalized racism is hard to root out.
Chipping away at contraceptives. And women aren't choosing to have more babies, they're just wiser with their birth control methods. Cutting through the deliberately confusing terminology used when discussing abortion.

Christmas is coming
My house is a wreck but at least we have the tree up. Although it IS leaning a bit to the left....
Why is it that my kids' finals and helping research for internships means a pile of files being searched for transcripts and heaps of papers fluttering about while stepping over stacks of books and trying to get Christmas lists filled means finally giving cash to family members instead of trying to make sense of their Amazon wish lists while laundry heaps twitchily become sentient and move slowly towards the door.
At least I got the dishes done. I couldn't see the faucet.

From brilliance to unraveling, the human condition.
The Mysterious Antikythera Mechanism Is More Ancient Than We Thought
Why cats don't give a shit about you.
Coats into sleeping bags, and homeless into workers at the same time.
9 clueless things white people say when confronted with racism
When Australians label the states in the USA. Or Brits.
Neil deGrasse Tyson proving why he's a cool dude.
Didn't they read The Secret of NIMH?
The ending of the world.
An excellent creche.
Fascinating and sad view of the Iraqi army.
