Texas GOP is pushing to ban sodomy again →
filthygorgeousthings:
Texas banned sodomy in 1860. Then in 2003, the ban was overturned. Now the Texas Republican Party is trying to ban sodomy again. And pornography. And strip clubs. You can guess their position on gay marriage.

That gas, astronomers report this month in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, has been whipped up so much by its encounter with the intergalactic medium—like a comet’s tail of ice crystals getting buffeted by the solar wind—that it has condensed into stars. The discovery offers an added benefit: astronomers will be able to study the evolution of the stars much more easily than if they had...
