Imagine a world where YouTube, Flickr, Facebook or Twitter had never been created due to the cost of regulatory compliance. Imagine an Internet where any website where users can upload text, pictures or video is liable for copyrighted material uploaded to it. Imagine a world where the addresses to those websites could not be found using search engines like Google and Bing, even if you typed them in directly.
Andrew Howard on what SOPA and the Protect IP act mean for the future of the Internet and how they affect you directly. Read it, then watch this, then go do something about it. (via curiositycounts)

Just stay informed, friends. If you don’t pay attention, someone could take away our ability to do what we all love doing. (That being “Tumbling our brains out”)

"When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained." - Mark Twain

There's a lot of science out there. I'm Joe, let me be your guide to the creative side of discovery, big science news, wondrous science visuals, analysis-izations and all the otherwise cool science-y things out there, with all the woo and BS filtered out.

One of Time Magazine's 30 Must-See Tumblrs - 2012

Featured in The Best Science Writing Online - 2012 (forthcoming from Farrar, Strauss and Giroux)
