Carnivals!
A belated Carnival of the Liberals #57
A Tangled Bank announcement!
The next Tangled Bank will be at Greg Laden’s place, so send those links in to me or host@tangledbank.net before Wednesday!
A reminder!
Don’t forget to tune in to Atheist Talk at 9am tomorrow morning. The topic of the day: Lori Lipman Brown, lobbyist for the Secular Coalition of America, will be interviewed.
An open thread!
Carnivals for this week:
Carnival of the Godless #84: OK, I’m a week late with this one, and it’s cephalopod themed. I’m so ashamed to have missed it earlier.
Carnival of the Blue #9: Oceans are good.
I and the Bird #68: It’s winter themed. It’s cold here, so that’s appropriate.
Linnaeus’ Legacy #4: Taxonomists rejoice!
A call has been put out for Darwin Day posts. Get it together and put up something celebrating Darwin Day. I’ll try, but my schedule is once again bubbling over chaotically — I’m giving a short talk to an education conference on Monday, and I volunteered to do a talk here at UMM on Darwin Day — I’ll have to see if I can maybe wring something out of that.
My Darwin Day talk isn’t so much about Darwin, though, as it is about the contemporary fruits of his theory, and an attempt to explain evo-devo to a diverse audience.
Hey! Carnivals!
Accretionary Wedge #5. Rocks? How can they possibly find enough to write about rocks?
Carnival of Space #38. Space? Even worse. It’s mostly nothing!
I and the Bird #67. Birds? They’ve been at this for 67 weeks and there’s still more to be said about beaks, wings, and feathers?
Friday Ark #175. It’s almost all cats, so obviously this is the B-Ark, and they’re being loaded up along with all the hairdressers, insurance salesemen, and telephone sanitizers.
Hey, it’s been a while since I did one of these, so let’s catch up!
Karl Mogel will be hosting the next Tangled Bank at The Inoculated Mind — get moving and send those links in to me or host@tangledbank.net by Tuesday!
And of course, this is an open thread, so say whatever you please.
Carnivals! And conversation!
And don’t forget — the next Tangled Bank is at Ourobouros on Wednesday, 19 December. Send those links in to me or host@tangledbank.net!
Cruise the web starting with these most excellent entry points.
Revere’s Sunday Sermonette — there hasn’t been enough outrage at the unconstitutional vileness of Romney and Huckabee.
Now tell me something I don’t already know.
I’ve got to go baste. If you aren’t similarly occupied, you could browse these fine carnivals.
Carnival of the Liberals #52, celebrating AU’s 60th anniversary!
Four Stone Hearth #28 (and they need more hosts)
You aren’t watching football, are you?
More carnivals, including one that is new to me!
Accretionary Wedge #3 (a geology carnival!)
And we have a new Tangled Bank coming up at From Archaea to Zeaxanthol next Wednesday—send those links to your science articles to me or host@tangledbank.net.
By the way, we’re going to run out of hosts in January, so if you’re interested in hosting, drop me a line to volunteer.
Now say something, anything here in the comments.
I’m on an airplane on my way to Washington DC, for an event sponsored by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It should be good — I’ve heard that Blue Gal, D-Cup, Phil Plait, and some of the gang from Corrente will be there…and we’ll find out who else. I’ll report back later!
Until then, here are a few carnivals to browse.
Linnaeus’ Legacy, a brand new carnival dedicated to classification
And of course, feel free to talk among yourselves! Except any lingering denialists. You can go look for a rock to crawl under.
This collection of carnivals has a theme: savage, wild, weird animals.
Don’t forget the Tangled Bank! Another edition is coming up on Wednesday at Paddy K — send those links in to me or host@tangledbank.net.
