Link dump (yeah, most are outdated, but nonetheless interesting):

Telomere shrinkage reversed in mice. Possible impact - injections yield eternally youthful cells; you'll still die of cancer or cardiac arrest or stroke.
A website that discusses various intellectual self-delusions. I particularly liked the post on debunking the notion of venting.
Bruce Schneier, on why responding to terrorism isn't a good reaction. The comments also struck me as insightful, particularly the one that noted the broken window fallacy as it applies to the jobs and industry surrounding these ridiculous x-ray backscatter machines.
