Factoid:

The federal government has subsidized employer-based health insurance through the income tax system since World War II. Contributions to health benefit plans and direct reimbursements for medical care expenses are excluded from employees’ (and retirees’) income for tax purposes. This exclusion for employer-provided health care is the single largest tax expenditure under the current tax system, amounting to an estimated $260 billion in reduced income and payroll tax revenues in 2013.

Tell your wingnut friends to consider this when they bitch about the ACA.

Indeed, and a toast to my fellow Lizards.

The part after the Schoenberg excerpt is from a musical Hornsby worked on called “SCKBSTD”.

The BBC is releasing a trailer celebrating the 50 years of Doctor Who.

They are not releasing any trailer for the 50th Anniversary Special as of yet. They either a) don’t know what the hell they are doing, or b) They are rating another Series of the Soap Opera Emmerdale and other BS above Doctor Who.

Maybe the special contains some type of plot twist that they feel a trailer would expose too much of.

Schoenberg hurts my head.

btw, the mp3 doesn’t seem to want to play for me. The player shows up, the blue bar shows downloaded data, but it won’t play.

Problem? Hornets. Solution? Flame-thrower! (VIDEO)

New Chinese proverb: “Anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes — a waste of talent.” A LiveLeak user posted a news segment about the Chinese military rolling out a flamethrower unit to take care of a hornet’s nest.

To be fair, the nest was about five feet in diameter and had so many hornets living in it that the local villagers of Jiangjin Tsz Wan Yuen Tsuen had to avoid the area or risk being stung. A lot.

The military was rolled out after a person was stung to death by the hornets, after the fire department was unable to smoke out the hive.

Original is here. I couldn’t get the video to embed.

Jesselyn Radack had a Snowden post up on KOS today and interspersed amongst the usual sycophants were lot of folks raising questions and calling bullsh*t.

It was quite a nice sight to behold.

Older version of Safari could be the problem? Works here in version 6.0.5.

re: #15 Dark_Falcon

And the Name of the Doctor didn’t?

That was Plot Twist city. And the trailer for that didn’t spoil a thing.

Unfortunately, I see fans blaming Moffat for the lack of Trailer. The fault for that belongs to the BBC entirely.

Not only that, but everyone in the cast, including showrunner Moffat have already done spoilers.

-Apparently, Queen Elizabeth I is going to be important, maybe to the point of companion
-Rose Tyler seems to be in this less than first thought.
-Daleks and Zygons appear
-Two TARDISes appear in the episode

And those are the ones I know off of the top of my head.

More than one TARDIS? I wonder if that means another Time Lord has somehow survived.

re: #24 Dark_Falcon

No, literally more than one of the Doctor’s TARDIS is there.

11’s and 10’s TARDISes are both there. We know this because we have seen stills from the episode showing both console rooms.
