* 13 little-known punctuation marks we should be using. At right: the rhetorical question mark.
* Reddit vs. Gawker: whoever wins, we lose. Snark aside, they ought to burn reddit down if it won’t take cast out jailbait and creeper subreddits. It’s 2012.
* DNA’s 521-year half-life ruins so many awesome science fiction plots.
* Our brains work in interesting ways: What number is halfway between 1 and 9? Is it 5 — or 3?
* Could the Goonies Really Keep One-Eyed Willy’s Treasure?
* Walmart Workers Are Threatening To Strike On Black Friday. On a national holy day? How dare they.
* You love being creative for your work. You love your job. That’s why you’ve got a Mac. Precarious labor, post-Fordism, and Apple.
* Nine minutes of gameplay from the new SimCity.
* LARoB considers Homeland. It’s been next in my Netflix queue forever, so I couldn’t read too much of this.
