lightcastleA collection of things I've read/seen over the last little while.
A ranking of Earth-like and habitable worlds we've discovered. This came out before the recent confirmation of Kepler 22b as highly Earth-like.
From a few years back, but since Andrew Sullivan brought up The Bell Curve again, some discussion on what "heritability" means in this context and why g is a statistical myth.
And just in case the whole whitewashing of Akira wasn't enough, it looks like Tom Cruise will play the lead for the adaptation of All You Need is Kill. Because in a novel where one of the three lead characters is not white, you better make that sucker white for the movie. :/
