You can't control the gibbering madness that lies waiting on the edge of our reality but for a small monthly premium you can ensure that you don't pay for it when things go eldritch.

A quest to help students in a remote Montana town break the cycle of poverty

"This isn't about it being a policy matter that we don't agree with. This is about an elected official condoning the murder of a police officer," Cohn said.

Philip Larkin remains one of Britain’s most controversial – and loved – poets. His friend and colleague James Booth looks back.

I suppose it's only fair that I should post something that can actually make ME cringe. Don't try this one at home kiddies, you can cause a perfectly well behaved mole to turn malignant and you don't want that.

What we've got here is a stovetop mac and cheese recipe that's only about 10 percent more cumbersome to make than the blue box (the only extra step is measuring a few ingredients) but tastes far, far better.

"Temptation" is the song New Order have played live more than any other.

The same year that Albrecht Dürer created his famous rhinoceros woodcut, the German artist also collaborated on the first star charts printed in Europe.

​There was a strange stillness in the news on Saturday morning, a Saturday morning that came earlier in Paris than it did in Des Moines, a city in Iowa, one of the United States of America. The body count had stabilized. The new information came at a slow, stately pace, as though life were rearranging itself out of quiet respect for the dead. The new information came at a slow and stately pace and it arranged itself in the way that you suspected it would arrange itself when the first...

A Forbidden No Man’s Land Poisoned by War

Negative consequences, timeouts, and punishment just make bad behavior worse. But a new approach really works.

The NSA whistleblower sat down with The Intercept’s Micah Lee in Moscow.

Brian Olson is a software engineer in Massachusetts who wrote a program to draw "optimally compact" equal-population congressional districts in each state, based on 2010 census data. Olson's algorithm draws districts that respect the boundaries of census blocks, which are the smallest geographic units used by the Census Bureau. This ensures that the district boundaries reflect actual neighborhoods and don't, say, cut an arbitrary line through somebody's house.

Way out into the blue, right where you lose all sight of land — and feel overwhelmed, as if devoured by the sea — you will find the beautiful creatures of the open ocean, who live in the ‘pelagic’ zone. Today, we are fighting to protect them.

On Tuesday, the US Senate voted on the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA), a bill to help protect our digital data. But the nation’s top tech companies, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Twitter and plenty more, are all against it, because so many of their users think the new bill will give the US government easy access to their personal data.

A major advance in computational complexity reveals deep connections between the classes of problems that computers can — and can’t — possibly do.

Where the Colorado River falls from the snow-capped Rocky Mountains into the arid U.S. Southwest, lies Lake Powell. A severe drought in recent years, combined with the tapping of the lake's water at what many consider to be an unsustainable level, has reduced its levels to only about 42 percent of its capacity, according to the U.S. space agency NASA.

The US Navy has agreed to limit its use of sonar that may inadvertently harm whales and dolphins in waters near Hawaii and California. A federal judge in Honolulu signed the deal between the Navy and environmental groups on Monday. It restricts or bans the use of mid-frequency active sonar and explosives used in training exercises. Campaigners say that sonar disrupts the feeding of marine mammals, and can even cause deafness or death.

Some really, really lovely photosgraphs of historical re-enactors and their kit from all periods.

Donald Trump and the disaffected white people who make up his base of support have got me thinking about race in America. “Trump presents a choice for the Republican Party about which path to follow––” Ben Domenech writes in an insightful piece at The Federalist, “a path toward a coalition that is broad, classically liberal, and consistent with the party’s history, or a path toward a coalition that is reduced to the narrow interests of identity politics for white people.”

The initial furor that the Panthers caused cannot be overstated, and a political moment friendly to their expansive ten-point program has never existed.

This doesn't look good for Florida. Global warming is bad and every day we don't do anything about it we should feel bad.

A legendary problem and the battle over who solved it.
