Nobody said I wasn’t allowed to haze the n00b. tear.gif



Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day Weekend, let’s see what we have going on today.

First up, we’re getting closer to a new generation of spray-on solar power.

Do background checks for gun purchases make everyone safer?  Yes.  Do guns improve safety?  No.

An awesome post over at the Good Men Project about the parents of a trans man (or I guess boy, due to age).

You guys, there’s an ACME movie in the works:

The Onion nails it on the head, like they always do – this time, about Ferguson.

This story got buried during everything going on in Ferguson, but a pastor cancelled a man’s funeral after finding out he was gay, and called his mom to tell her that while she was at a viewing and next to his casket.

Ireland is a horrible place to be a woman.

The Good Men Project also takes a look at empathy.  Which the more I think about it, is what we’re missing the most of in today’s world and would solve most of our problems.  But how do you teach people to be empathetic?  I can’t figure that part out.

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!
