Everyone, just think about this as a reality for a second.  Jesus being an alien is an entirely possible concept and could very much explain most of the incredible stories of Jesus’ life.  Crazy.

Mitt Romney Accidentally Confronts A Gay Veteran; Awesomeness Ensues

HOLY SMACKDOWN, BATMAN. This guy is awesome, totally gives it to Romney. WHOOP!

[angrycowboy]

I love that it was that one question that made this man decide just who he was going to vote for. This should tell Romney all he needs to know about his beliefs on same-sex marriage. Because I’ll tell you what, that vet? IS AWESOME.

“You have to look a man in the eye.” - This is heartbreaking and triumphant at the same time. I sincerely hope that Romney doesn’t become this guy’s president in anyone’s book.

People who say that the same sex marriage debate (also the abortion debate) are side issues or distractions in this election, clearly don’t walk in the shoes of this guy or gay Americans in general. To them it is no distraction. It’s their lives.

More leading universities are offering free online courses through the fast-growing education platform Coursera.

Mountain View, Calif.-based Coursera said Wednesday that 17 more domestic and international universities have joined the online network.

The new additions bring to 33 the number of institutions offering courses through Coursera, one of several new companies offering free cyber classes from elite universities. Coursera now offers more than 200 courses open to anyone with an Internet connection.

Wednesday’s announcement underscores the rapid expansion of so-called MOOCs, or massive open online courses, which are reshaping the higher education landscape.

The new Coursera partners include Brown, Columbia, Emory, Vanderbilt and Wesleyan universities, as well as Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of British Columbia, University of London and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

what if I met mitt romney and became his best friend and what if we told each other everything and had movie nights and ate junk food and wore friendship bracelets but then on election day we’d hug and he’d say “wish me luck?” and I’d whisper into his ear “I’m a liberal” and then walk away and hop on the back of obama’s motorcycle and ride off into the sunset

And they say that putting pressure on companies doesn’t work. Even Chick-fil-a gave in. This is a big victory in the culture war!

Some blind people can echolocate by producing sounds, or ‘clicks’, with their tongues to ‘see’ where they are going.

SYDNEY: Humans can echolocate - just like bats - and scientists are now learning how the brain adapts to perform this skill.

Last month, Daniel Kish, an American blind expert in using sonar to ‘see’ where he is going, visited Sydney to work with Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. In the same way bats use sonar, blind people such as Kish have displayed an ability to echolocate by producing sounds, or ‘clicks’, with their tongues. They can then interpret the different rebounding echoes to understand their spatial surroundings - the position, distance, size, shape and even texture of objects.

Recently, a team of Canadian researchers have discovered a surprising region of the brain that interprets these echoes. “The most exciting finding for us was that the ‘visual’ part of [the brain] was even more activated by the tiny echoes than the auditory part of his brain,” said co-author Melvyn Goodale from the University of Western Ontario of a 2011 PLoS ONE paper. “Clearly, there is something about the organisation of [the] ‘visual’ cortex that makes it particularly adept at interpreting the echoes.”

I love and treasure individuals as I meet them, I loathe and despise the groups they identify with and belong to.

Here is the secret news: All people are afraid. No one knows what they’re doing. Everything is getting worse. Some people deserve to die. Your money is worthless. No one is properly dressed. At least one of your children will disappoint you. The system is rigged. Your house will never be completely clean. All teachers are incompetent. There are people who really dislike you. Nothing is as good as it seems. Things don’t last. No one is paying attention. The country is dying. God doesn’t care. Shhhhh…

This means that the desire to halt gay marriage, is purely a religious issue. 

[divineirony]

Pretty much.
