Stop treating the food in your freezer like it’s going to stay good forever. Your freezer is not a cryonic chamber, and your food is not Walt Disney’s head. Unlike Walt, who will live forever, the food in your freezer doesn’t stay edible until the end of time — it greatly reduces in quality so much you wouldn’t want to eat it. So we created a handy chart to show you how long it remains at optimal flavor with the help of the USDA Food Safety & Inspection Service’s FoodKeeper (note that this doesn’t mean the food will be unsafe to eat, but that it will probably be super gross, especially if you don’t use a fancy vacuum sealer). Print it out, stick it to the fridge with magnets, and never eat a freezer-burned sausage again.
1. Fat-shaming.
2. General misogyny.
3. Joking about suicide.
4. Promoting the ‘dumb blonde’ stereotype.
5. Cultural insensitivity.
6. More fat-shaming.
7. Smoking on TV. (What about the children?)
8. Joking about killing your family.
9. Spousal abuse.
10. Hating on feminists.
11. Teaching kids that violence is the answer.
12. Frequently bashing the French.
13. Treating women like objects.
14. Gross displays of male comfortability.
15. Nipples.
16. And finally…fat-shaming.
The armed standoff between anti-government militants and law enforcement in Oregon has lasted more than four weeks. After the arrest of 11 people last week, it was expected that the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge would come to an end, but the killing of the group’s spokesman in an encounter with police has re-energized protesters.
THE TWO-WAY
4 Militants Remain In Oregon Wildlife Refuge, As FBI Negotiations Go On
We have been here before. Back in the 1990s, there were several showdowns between armed anti-government extremists and the federal government.
One of the longest standoffs involved the Freemen of Montana in 1996, who held out for 81 days before surrendering peacefully to law enforcement. It was a different story in 1993, when the standoff with the Branch Davidians near Waco, Texas, ended with the deaths of at least 75 people — many of whom were children — in a fire.
But it was the events at Ruby Ridge in Idaho that would become the symbol of government overreach.
Museum of Science Fiction Debuts Its Scholarly Journal’s First Issue
io9.gizmodo.com
Back in September, the Museum of Science Fiction announced that they were going to be releasing scholarly publication: The Journal of Science Fiction. Now, their first issue is live!
There’s some really interesting articles here: an in depth look at Paolo Bacigalupi’s work, as well as Frank Herbert’s Dune, as well as a couple of other subjects. These are well-researched and in-depth scholarly articles, ones that will help push for a deeper understanding of how science fiction works on a critical and academic level.
You can download the entire first issue here.http://publish.lib.umd.edu/scifi/article/view/265
