Friday Links (8-Oct-10)

Ok, uni troubles have mostly died down so I should be posting a bit more. In the meantime, here is the work of other people that I have lovingly and painstakingly link-dumped below.

• Bank of America forecloses home with no mortgage on it
• Cory Doctorow’s lates on copyright: two pieces
• The future of our world (animation)
• I’ve discovered a great little site: Dickipedia, a wiki of dicks. Documents the dickishness of people like Glen Beck, Newt Gingrich, Ann Coulter, Michael Moore, Roman Polanski and the rest.
• Colbert testifies before Congress and in a rare moment breaks character with a religious sentiment I find quite reasonable.
• Liberal blogger discovers the real threat of sharia law
• And I discover the wonderful Marian Call and her nerd anthem song.
• Speaking of nerdery, this is the most nerdy thing I’ve ever seen by a factor of 2^infinity.
• What will future generations condemn us for?
• People’s estimates of US wealth inequality are more equitable than the real situation by several orders of magnitude.
• Surprise-surprise: Only 1.7% of sites blocked by Scandinavia’s “child-porn” filters are actually child porn
• A good critique of some popular anti-transhumanist and pro-suffering arguments: Human: know thy place
• Colbert takes on Scalia’s originalism
