Check your freezers! Ground beef recall.

You can still help the fight for marriage equality in Maine. If you are a Maine resident, you need to vote. In fact, if there is a local election in your area today, please be sure to vote. These elections tend to have very low turn-out and its how extremists get weird referendums passed and anti-science people onto school boards. It's always good to vote.

What makes an American? Or, let's watch people be anti-immigrant racists about the guy who just won the New York City Marathon.

There's been another arrest in the Richmond gang rape.

Asperger's as a vanishing diagnosis.

Almost-Han-Solo is fabulous. I love the roguish grin. And wasn't the Luke Skywalker character originally supposed to be female? Or is that a nerd urban legend?

I think that probably is urban legend.

Skywalker/Starkiller was supposed to be older at the start of the trilogy in Lucas' first draft, though.
