It works in Hollywood and it works in real life, too. Men tend to say yes to attractive women without really scrutinizing whether or not they are trustworthy. But[...]

Michael from MuckRock sez, The Supreme Court ruled this morning that states have the right to restrict public records access to locals, meaning one more hurdle to would-be muckrakers everywhere. Even in-state requesters are harmed: It means one more bureaucratic hurdle and another excuse for agencies to respond in paper rather than electronically. MuckRock has[...]

Composed by Edward Elgar between 1898 and ’99, Variations on an Original Theme for Orchestra (“Engima”), Op. 36, has long been my favorite piece of classical music. In addition to being beautiful music there is enough mystery packed into the Variations to keep every conspiracy theorist in the house busy for years. The work is[...]

Smiling comes in two distinct forms: genuine and polite. The genuine kind are those that result from a friend showing you a hilarious new grumpy cat meme. These smiles are spontaneous and indicative of pleasure. Polite smiles, on the other hand, are the ones reserved for the awkward encounters with your coworker at the coffee[...]
Chris Weston’s poster for a notional “Carry On X-Men” has me wanting very badly to inhabit his alternate universe. He says of the film, “Despite the bawdy humour, ‘Carry on X-Men’ is in many ways more faithful to the source material than Bryan Singer’s films.
