"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz

"The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while yet there was time." - George Sutherland
"Whenever a separation is made between liberty and justice, neither, in my opinion, is safe." - Edmund Burke

All the neat science, with the numbers and the research and the GLAAAVEN!

A couple of interesting science stories today:

Evidence that humback whales use grammar. Next, these researchers will try to observe humpback whales participating in a grammar rodeo.

Researchers find a part of the brain that assists in computation. Also, thousands of mathematicians start calling in sick to work with dyscalculia.

I have activated the aforementioned part of my brain to present you with today's playlist:

  1. Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan: Ballad of the Broken Seas
  2. Mazarin: We're Already There
  3. Ride: Nowhere
  4. Vashti Bunyan: Lookaftering
  5. Yaz: You and Me Both
  6. Stephen Malkmus: Face the Truth
  7. The Cranberries: Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?
