Putin is Time's "Man of the Year". I found this interesting, because a) I thought "man of the year" had to be a positive man, but it's actually just the man who most owned the year, with hitler winning in 1939, and stalin winning twice, in 1938 and 1942. and b) Because I find Putin fascinating. The man is very alien to the west, and seems to be extremely stereotypically "russian," what with being a killer KGB autocrat.

How to smoke pot and stay out of jail/how to not get busted when a cop stops you. Maybe this stuff is common knowledge to drug-users, but maybe not. Just part of fighting back against what I see as extremely perverse drug laws.

A piece-by-piece destruction of an "academic" paper written to cast doubt on the scientific consensus of global warming. The paper in question basically abuses statistics and uses generally unsound science, casting doubt by any means necessary, so the author can continue getting keynote speech money at conservative/oil lobby conventions. So far every "skeptic" paper I've found has similar problems. Feel free to make me aware of any that are more sound that I've missed.
