Some exciting blog and Web site news
For the past few weeks, I've had a consultant and his team working on setting up a dedicated Web site for me, and for the publishing company I set up earlier this year. We hope to go live by the end of this month, although it may happen a little sooner than that, if all goes well. The new Web site will incorporate this blog, plus more detailed pages for my books, by genre, by series, and by individual title. I won't do direct sales from it, due to all the complications of sales taxes and other regulations for fifty different US states (not to mention foreign sales); those will s... more »

Just look at what the ‘global heat wave’ is doing to polar bear sea ice habitat!
Originally posted on polarbearscience: According to the Guardian (9 July 2018), there is a “global heat wave” going on right now.

What Kind of Teachers Applaud Janus?
I told you they existed, and here's one example, writing out the argument that I've heard before: *Some may call me a freeloader, because the union negotiates my salary each year despite receiving no money from me, but I feel that whatever benefit I receive from this service is outweighed by the fact that the union’s collective bargaining with the district puts me in a position to be unable to ask for extra income for stellar work.* The article, posted at the super-conservative Federalist, is entitled "I'm A Teacher.

Man Eats Chipotle Every Day for Six Months Straight, Does Far Better Health-Wise Than Anybody Expected
Several years ago I delighted (and cringed) watching the classic Morgan Spurlock documentary Super Size Me, during which the award-winning filmmaker ate nothing but McDonald’s for an entire month, and received more than a few shocking health diagnoses along the way. Needless to say Spurlock didn’t do so well at all, and the movie served as a grim warning to fans of salty, GMO-laden fast food: stop making it a staple of your life, or suffer the consequences. Since the movie was released in May 2004, the fitness and health world have seen the rise of religiously-followed diets far... more »
FDA Allowing Contaminated Meat From China to Pass Through Customs Uninspected
A story that Port of San Francisco customs seized 300,000 pounds of rat meat to be sold across the U.S. as chicken meat has been circling around since at least 2016. But a year later, it suddenly went viral, and a few websites claimed that the FDA issued a warning about 1,000,000 pounds of rat meat that could be circulating around the country and even infiltrating your Super Bowl feast. The website that the story might have originated on urbanimagemagazine.com no longer seems to be accessible. As of right now, there is no real evidence that this rat meat confiscation took place.

Senators Want to Overturn the Endangered Species Act to Please Oil and Gas Interests
Thanks to the Endangered Species Act, which has been in place for 45 years, irreplaceable wildlife like bald eagles, leatherback sea turtles, the Florida manatee, and grizzly bears have been saved from the brink of extinction.

The Weight Loss Industry Is Full Of Woo

IF ROE IS KILLED WITHOUT BEING OVERTURNED, WON'T THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT STILL WANT IT FINISHED OFF?
Scott Lemieux thinks the Supreme Court will effectively kill *Roe v. Wade,* but possibly not overturn it, at least at first. It is true, as far as it goes, that Chief Justice John Roberts’ court is unlikely to overturn the Roe v. Wade ruling before the 2020 elections. But the Supreme Court can nonetheless allow states to effectively ban abortion without explicitly overruling Roe. Many states have already successfully experimented with regulations that target abortion clinics, making it difficult or impossible from them to operate. Six states have only one remaining abortion clinic i... more »
