From climate change to evolution, science is under siege. The cartoons here count the ways: political interference, personal attacks, erroneous reporting, dumbing down, corporate mischief. The list goes on.The cartoons were collected by the Union of Concerned Scientists, which represents more than 400,000 professionals and citizens around the country.

Climate change will make for increasingly toasty (and deadly) summers in New York City (especially since carbon dioxide is entering the atmosphere faster than ever.) But there’s good news for half of the population who may have once felt concered about their rights to go topless in the city’s parks in summers past. This year, the NYPD’s 34,000 officers have been ordered to no longer arrest women who show their breasts in public.The New York Times reports that the message was delivered to the city’s police squad this February.
Pope Francis rocked some religious and atheist minds today when he declared that everyone was redeemed through Jesus, including atheists.
YESSSSSS!!! Can you see the havoc us atheists will wreak on heaven? Oh.My.!
For those in need of initiation. AERA is the American Educational Research Association, which oversees the hordes of educational researchers (and their work) nation wide and internationally. It is a prominent institution of research, and publishes a number of journals on the science and practice of education.
This announcement, then is a big deal - one of the major research associations in the country will add an open-access journal. I could not be more excited!
The American Educational Research Association is joining the ranks of open-access research with a new journal, AERA Open, expected to begin publishing early next year.
My view is that, in principle, replacing corporate income taxes with higher taxes on dividends and rich executives would be desirable. But in the interests of a fully informed public, I think it's worth highlighting an underrated 2003 paper from Raj Chetty and Emannuel Saez that brings some important empirical...

500 Million Years of Evolution in Under 4 Minutes
I had forgotten that the video for Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now” was essentially an evolutionary biology adventure tale.
Is it illegal to post this video on Daft Punk Day?
(via PsiVid)
Not illegal at all, I'd say.
Today is Daft Punk Day!
Welp, it was fun while it lasted. I expect a great deal of GOP house members caving to this. So long meaningful immigration reform.
Whoa this is big!

The Screwed Generation
I recently re-read a year old article from Newsweek. The opening sentence:
‘Boomer America’ never had it so good. As a result, today’s young Americans have never had it so bad."
Newsweek
Boomers have left the country in shambles, and the current youngs (the Gen Y and "Millenials") are paying the price.
Higher cost of everything, lower paychecks, fewer jobs, higher taxes .. all to pay for the senior benefits of one of the wealthiest generations of Americans. Poverty rate of seniors is at historic minimum, yet senior benefits continue to rise, all the while the Boomers vote increasingly conservative, asking for their taxes to be lowered, underfunding everything from education to infrastructure and slowing the economic growth.
A poignant graph (from the Preiceonomics article linked below):
This is not a country without hope, but it is heartbreaking to see the generation that was brought us Civil Rights movement, Women's rights, Welfare, and uncountable other steps forward became incapable of seeing past their own middle-management paychecks as it grew older.
And another - net-worth of age-groups over time.
Both the figures come from a relevant article over at Priceonomics
It is high time we, the Gen Y and the Millenials finally take over and become the agenda-setting voting bloc.
In 2004, a documentary called The End of Suburbia predicted that the suburbs were potentially "destined to become the slums of tomorrow" thanks to the impending threat of peak oil. That didn’t happen--the threat of peak oil has now been replaced by out-of-control climate change--but suburbs are declining, just for a different reason.According to a new report put out by the Brookings Institute, more poor inhabitants of the U.S. now live in suburbs than in cities and rural areas. Between 2002 and 2011, the population of the suburban poor rose 67%.
The reversal of fortunes is startling. If you are poor and isolated in suburbia, you are screwed. Cannot walk, cannot bike, cannot take public transport. 60 years of bad decision making sparked in the 1950s by "the Great Generation" and happily endorsed by the boomers in the 1980s is rearing its ugly head.
No wonder the Millennials (all of us who did not get a proper job before 2000) are wiser - we do not own a car, house, or aspire to live in the suburbs, we shop local, live local, act local. Let's hope we continue to be this smart as we become the dominant voting bloc, and let's fix the system.
Most people who share, do it because they want to make the world a better place, according to a new national survey commissioned by AirBnb.The sharing economy has an estimated $26 billion value, including online platforms that make it easy to do everything from renting out spare rooms in your home (AirBnb) to carsharing (Zipcar), clothing swaps (ThredUP), even sharing extra portions from homecooked meals ( Shareyourmeal, of course).Among those who have actually tried it, the plurality said their motivation was philosophical, not financial.This new survey gets at the motivations behind sharing,
If someone handed me the keys to a 207 mph supercar, I know where I’d end up: jail.
As a former car reviewer, this is absolutely true.
