- A humble example of why those grandiose geo-engineering schemes to fix global Warming should remain on the drawing board… for now.

- The new enemy of Atheism: the new Atheist movement.
- Data miners find hidden exoplanet in Hubble’s old files. They also found many stars on my old files—the kind with fake breasts, puffed lips, and tattoos on their… nether regions.

Quote of the Day:
“For me, atheism’s roots are in a sober and modest assessment of where reason and evidence lead us. That means the real enemy is not religion as such, but any kind of system of belief that does not respect these limits on our thinking. For that reason, I want to engage with thoughtful, intelligent believers, and isolate extremists. But if we demonise all religion, such coalitions of the reasonable are not possible. Instead, we are likely to see moderate religious believers join ranks with fundamentalists, the enemies of their enemy, to resist what they see as an attempt to wipe out all forms of religious belief.”
