Thinking outside the bra
…but underneath the skin. Via Women’s Health News, it has come to my attention that Israeli scientists have devised a technology now in testing that is, in essence, an internal bra. Internal as in underneath the skin.

How do you balance criticism of something (or acknowledging its weaknesses) with your appreciation for it? I liked the Transformers movie, on the whole… but I still left yelling “Why did the black robot have to die?” Thinking about the racist, sexist stuff in the movie didn’t diminish my enjoyment of it… but it did [...]

Originally posted on June 4, 2007. Poor death row inmates in Alabama don’t have lawyers.

… I guess you just start talking. Heh. Hi there. I’m Magniloquence, and I blog over at Feline Formal Shorts. (The name, for those of you making faces, is a play on Aunt B’s Tiny Cat Pants. So you can blame her for it, I guess.) I was supposed to submit a really cool introduction [...]

Math to the rescue: debunking “average number of sex partner” statistics
Back in June, a number of blogs reported on a federal government survey about the average number of heterosexual sex partners for American men and women. The survey also covered drug use and a lot of other aspects of people’s sex lives, but what got the most headline attention (note the cheesetastic graphic above, which [...]

Karl Rove is resigning. We’ll see what that means, in the more complicated long run, later, I expect. Still. I can’t help but feel a shadow passing.
