The Killing of Osama Bin Laden
It’s a long read but an interesting one. Seymour M. Hersh’s article in the London Book Review alleges that the description of events provided by the US goverment (and subsequently depicted in the film Zero Dark Thirty) aren’t entirely accurate.
There are a number of disputed points: the existence of the courier, the involvement/awareness of Pakistani intelligence, the vaccination cover, the burial at sea.
It’s definitely worth your time.

Adventures in online dating, Pt 1
So I’m trying online dating, not sure I’ve entirely got to grips with the etiquette yet (is there online dating etiquette?).

Bloody freaky hands at that.
Los Angeles–based designer Emily McDowell was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 24, enduring nine months of chemo and radiation before going into remission.
“The most difficult part of my illness wasn’t losing my hair, or being erroneously called ‘sir’ by Starbucks baristas, or sickness from chemo,” McDowell writes on her website. “It was the loneliness and isolation I felt when many of my close friends and family members disappeared because they didn’t know what to say, or said the absolute wrong thing without realizing it.”
Emily is now cancer-free and has made a set of, quite frankly, amazing empathy cards.
Gwen Stacey takes over the Marvel Universe in June. Gwen as Thor, The Avengers, The X-Men (pictured), Wolverine, Magneto… awesome :)
(For anyone who’s not sure who Gwen Stacey is or why she’s cosplaying the entire Marvel Universe, Gwen Stacey was Emma Stone’s character in the latest Spider-Man film, she’s headlined her own Spider-Gwen series (which is ace) set in an AU where she, not Peter, is bitten by the spider).
