Bad, bad Webkit

I've been going insane this morning, thinking I might have mysteriously lost my ability to type, or even recognize valid HTML…and I've been seeing really weird stuff everywhere I type on the web. It looks like the problem is Webkit,...

In which I am convinced I’ll never get any money from  the Templeton Foundation

Category: Religion

It's tough to tread that line between contempt and admiration: Jerry Coyne writes about the Templeton journalism awards. It really is a smart move on the part of the Templetonites to coopt journalists to sell their bankrupt line by tossing...
