   Badvertising of the Day: Right-wing, anti-science think tank the Heartland Institute has unveiled a new billboard campaign in its hometown of Chicago that compares those who believe in global warming to the Unabomber, Charles Manson, and Osama bin Laden.

   From the group’s website:

   What these murderers and madmen have said differs very little from what spokespersons for the United Nations, journalists for the “mainstream” media, and liberal politicians say about global warming.

   It continues:

   The people who still believe in man-made global warming are mostly on the radical fringe of society. This is why the most prominent advocates of global warming aren’t scientists. They are murderers, tyrants, and madmen.

   Really?!

   Thankfully, spot-on analysis by The Daily Beast‘s Andrew Sullivan wins the day:

   In some ways, this is an almost perfect illustration of what has happened to the “right.” A refusal to acknowledge scientific reality; and a brutalist style of public propaganda that focuses entirely on guilt by the most extreme association.

3. Crooked Purple Rain!: At Least One of My Neighbors Thinks I'm "Suspicious"
   I don’t think it’s you that needs to be making changes. A black man on a cell phone doesn’t always equal a threat. I’m appalled that people still behave this way.

   seanpadilla:

   This past Thursday afternoon, while walking through my own neighborhood, talking on my cell phone to a friend about some heavy things I’m going through @ the moment, I was followed and then stopped by a cop.
   
   He asked me for my ID, but I didn’t have it; I assumed (naively, in retrospect) that I…

   Pakistan’s First Oscar Nomination

   Growing up in a middle-class family in Karachi with five siblings and attending the local grammar school, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy always dreamt big. She convinced her parents to send her to Smith College in Massachusetts and eventually went to Stanford. What she possibly never factored in was an Oscar nomination — Pakistan’s first.

   Among a number of greats at Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on Sunday, Obaid-Chinoy will walk the red carpet in the hope of the golden knight for her documentary, Saving Face.

   The 40-minute short, co-directed by US-based Daniel Junge, chronicles the journeys of survivors of acid violence in Pakistan and the reconstructive surgery of their faces done free of cost by UK-based plastic surgeon, Mohammad Jawad, who regularly travels to Pakistan for the same.

   “This nomination is a testament to my belief that one’s background is irrelevant; anyone who strives for excellence will receive acknowledgment for their work. I feel proud to be representing Pakistan on such a prestigious stage. The problem with Pakistan has never been a lack of talent or ideas. We just have never had the right resources or infrastructure to project ourselves.

   I don’t see why this doesn’t have as much publicity as it should, especially within the Pakistani media

8. Tumblr Staff: A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
   Really happy with tumblr right now. I’m glad they’re doing something about this.

   staff:

   One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…

   I wanna see Jon Hamm’s eagle collection! Who wouldn’t?!

   via imwithkanye:

   Your move Gosling. According to a profile in Esquire, “Jon Hamm owns four eagles. They sit on separate perches in his backyard. Four species of eagle: golden, tawny, Spanish Imperial, and short-toed snake.”
