* This clip from Wednesday's Daily Show makes me so angry and depressed, you don't even know (actually, you probably do). Also it introduces me to several people I deeply desire to punch in the face. Too far to the left my ass.

* As a fun 'Democrats what the fuck are you doing' chaser - Ta-Nehisi Coates talks with Ezra Klein about health care.

* On Racialicious: The Dangerous Desire to Adopt Haitian Babies.

* So, it turns out I have not been paying attention at all and Dan Savage is very much a douchebag. A douchebag who says transphobic, sexist, racist things. ( In addition to that- )

* In lighter news: Helvetica cookie cutters! I can't wait for these to go on sale.

* Over on Gizmodo, Joseph Shoer talks about the physics of space battles. Nifty!

* I watched Re Cutie Honey with my roommate last night - she was a little stunned but in the end agreed that it was amazing. ( Because it is. )

* Badass of the week: Caterina Sforza

* By rm: in secret somewhere. You are not missing the cool party ... Chasing down societally approved versions of magic and wondering why it doesn't feel more awesome isn't going to bring the win. Forget parties and conventions, this applies to my entire life.

* Henry Jenkins interviews glockgal about Racebending.com and the Avatar casting fail.

* This article on British newspaper reporting (as tweeted by Neil Gaiman) is fascinating .
