* We are evacuating our embassy in Libya due to renewed fighting in the area around it.
Fuck!
* This is the best epidemic coverage I saw this week. "Death toll for Ebola outbreak growing:"
* At least 660 are confirmed dead in the West Africa Ebloa update out of at least 1093. About a hundred health care workers have caught it, with about half already dead. Those stricken include the top ebola specialist in Liberia and one of the American specialists in Africa to fight the disease. It has now reached Nigeria, where a plane traveler brought it before he died.
* On Internment Camps. "George Takei:"
* "Why the 'magical black father' is a myth:"
* "A look at policing tactics:"
* "Rand Paul caught lying about past Civil Rights Act objections:"
* How to tell Republicans are lying when they say they care about the Refugee crisis on our Southern Border: 1. They refuse to fund expedited processing of child refugees. 2. They refuse to confirm an ambassador to Guatemala.
* Republicans are blocking all attempts to get veterans the health care they need. Again. Why do Republicans hate our troops so much? "Will do-nothing Congress do nothing on VA?"
* "Race Wasn't Involved In NYPD Garner Killing? Yeah, Right:" http://www.transgriot.blogspot.com/2014/07/race-wasnt-involved-in-nypd-garner.html
* "Breaking out of traditional family models:"
* "Highway-Robbing Highway Patrolmen:"
* "We May Have Problems, But at Least We're Not Jailing Artists for 3-D Printing Their Vaginas:"
* "Rep. Steve Pearce's Fact-Finding Mission in Central America:"
* "Lowe's vs. Veterans Affairs:"
* "Tip/Wag - "True Blood" & Washington, D.C., Court of Appeals:"
* Tell me that Hep-V isn't about AIDS after tonight's True Blood episode. Go on. Tonight's episode was all about AIDS and why Marriage Equality became a big deal in the wake of the Plague.
* "The Strain, Season 1, Episode 1: Night Zero:" http://www.fangsforthefantasy.com/2014/07/the-strain-season-1-episode-1-night-zero.html
* "Ten Things About Boromir the Bold That Never Made It Into the Red Book of Westmarch:" http://captainofalltheships.tumblr.com/post/92963985339/talk-to-me-about-boromir
* I really dislike Whitney Cummings. It's because her stand up is deeply misogynistic in a way that reinforces ugly stereotypes about women as she tries to ingratiate herself with the misogynists. It's like most of her "jokes" are saying, "Women are materialistic and terrible, aren't I right, Guys?" Eeeew!
* "Would You Wear A Dress Made Of Condoms?:" http://www.thefrisky.com/2014-07-23/would-you-wear-a-dress-made-of-condoms/
