Worse than Meaningless

Worst Graph of the Year. If it was completely devoid of any information, it would be a whole lot better, simply because it wouldn't be shockingly historically inaccurate and blatantly propagandistic. I also wonder what the units are for "militancy." Apparently the person who didn't label the axis doesn't know either. Relationships have ended for less.

Science, meet Politics. Charmed, I'm sure

This was never meant to be a political blog, but what happens now will become history. And in this day and age, scientific research is intertwined with politics. So yeah. I can't think of anything witty to say.

The Most Important Image Ever Taken

According to this video, it is the Hubble Deep Field, and I'm inclined to agree. Whenever I look at it, I feel chills. This image, and the even higher resolution Ultra Deep Field, contain hundreds and hundreds of points, blobs, and smears of light. Each one is not a star, but an entire galaxy.

On the less inspired side of things, if you want to see something that manifests such intense stupidity and willful, possibly malevolent ignorance that it is capable of causing physical pain in those who watch it, go here.

The basic "idea", for those unwilling or unable to subject themselves to such gibbering imbecility, is staggeringly nonsensical, and incandescently moronic; a train wreck of epic cognitive ineptitude: Rainbows are a government conspiracy.

Or as the video says: "Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum, is rainbows. This cannot be natural." This is why we need math and science education with tough, rigorous, and reality-based curricula.
