The lastest in(s)anity from the Ontario Government. Welfare recipients who can't solve math problems and refuse to take remedial math courses will be cut off, turned out into the street, and left to starve. Hey, I think math is important, too, but Jesus, why do so many raw goddamn sadists appear to value it (remember Heinlein's proposal that people who can't solve a quadratic equation shouldn' be allowed to vote?) Link (Thanks, Amanda!)
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
