The original semen samples were donated from sires owned by the Walker family. Those samples, frozen in 1968 by Dr Steven Salamon, came from four rams, including 'Sir Freddie' born in 1963, owned by the Walkers on their then property at Ledgwor... more »

"Facts and Opinions Are Not Contraries"
*"Facts and Opinions Are Not Contraries"* by Michael Prinzing "The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd." - Bertrand Russell “Fact vs opinion” is not like “hot vs cold” or “fast vs slow”. Facts and opinions are different kinds of things. I teach philosophy to undergraduate students, mostly freshman and sophomores, at UCLA. I’ve been puzzled and slightly disturbed by a recurring idea that some of them seem to take for granted. This is the idea that claims about (say) what would be just, or what we ought to do, are merely ma... more »

Sorry kids — The next energy alternative is not here, yet
BY RON STEIN: Until we find that alternate energy, the magical elixir that replaces current reliable energy sources, we will have to admit EVERY industry and infrastructure that relies on energy from the deep earth minerals/fuels to “move things and make thousands of products” in support of global economies are increasing their usage each year of those energy sources, not decreasing it.

Kim's Old War Machine: North Korea Has Thousands of Ancient Tanks
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, Asia* A threat or a joke? *Although very obsolete, Chonma-ho likely still serves as the mainstay of the North Korean armored force. Bermudez estimated in 2010 that Pokpung-ho tanks served only in the 105th Seoul Guards Armored Division. North Korea’s poor economy, a shift in priorities from conventional to nuclear arms, and now the use of the Ryu-Kyong Su tank factory to develop and produce missile TELs will all cut into conventional tank production. It is likely even the 820th Corps is only partially equipped with the newer Pokpung-ho.* For decades, ... more »

An Opportunity To Replace A Reactionary Homophobic Blue Dog With A Chicagoland Progressive-- Meet Marie Newman
Gay equality used to be a contentious issue for Democrats.

As far as I can tell, the only overtly homophobic Blue Dog left in the House is Chicagoland fake Democrat Dan Lipinski. And Lipinski has a primary again.

We appear to be between teacher strikes at the moment, so this might be a good time to draw attention to Seth Kahn's open letter to Teach for America.
