Weekend link dump for August 9

10 episodes of Angel that show what a great series it was.

“68 years after the crash, that identity is in transition, as alien scholars, true believers, devout Christians, capitalist politicians, and exasperated agnostics all vie for a place in their hometown’s history. Welcome to Roswell, New Mexico.”

Three words: Water strider robot. You’re welcome.

Just being crazy isn’t enough any more.

A little public relations advice for Tom Brady.

“Our reaction to a Cecil is simple: That was wrong, just straight-up wrong.”

The war on Planned Parenthood is decades old.

Maybe there’s some hope for convincing anti-vaxxers of the truth after all.

Wait, Amy Schumer is Chuck Schumer’s cousin? How did I not know that?

RIP, Joan Aldrin, former wife of Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

Rebecca Fried is my new hero.

I’m with Sarah Baker. Down with lawns!

The secret of Donald Trump’s appeal, for those of us who aren’t sophisticated enough to understand it.

Everyone loves Joe Biden, but he ain’t running for President.

“The same, by the way, is true for sexual orientation. I spoke about this in Africa, and everybody is like, oh, oh, we don’t want to hear that. But the truth of the matter is, is that if you’re treating people differently just because of who they love and who they are, then there’s a connection between that mindset and the mindset that led to racism, and the mindset that leads to ethnic conflict. It means that you’re not able to see somebody else as a human being.”

Kermit and Miss Piggy have broken up, and life has no meaning.

“U.S. conservatives don’t want a war, they insist, they just want a different diplomatic solution. What might that alternative policy look like? Republicans, at least for now, haven’t the foggiest idea.”

“Many of the issues of civil rights are very complex and most difficult. But about this there can and should be no argument. Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to ensure that right.”

This Texan cooks bacon in a microwave. But you do you, Ted.

“So the question is: Is political fallout really more toxic than it used to be, or are modern White Houses just more sensitive to it?”

How much better off we’d all be if TLC had never made money off the Duggars in the first place.

“Given the choice between following Jesus and working ourselves into a self-indulgent froth of indignation over imaginary witches or other Satanic baby-killers, we always seem to choose the latter.”

“While we should breathe a sigh of relief that our country’s laws are still strong enough to detect and demolish a racially discriminatory law, it is nevertheless indisputable that federal voting protections in America are moving in the wrong direction.”

We love Real Genius, yes we do.

“In a controlled burn, you do a little bit of truth mixed in with a lot of lies“. And no, that’s not a quote from House of Cards. Meanwhile, Wonkette is weeping tears of joy.

RIP, Louise Suggs, co-founder of the LPGA Tour.

RIP, Dr. Frances Oldham Kelsey, FDA administrator who kept thalidomide out of America.
