A case I mentioned a couple weeks ago, where a school denied permission to a student to hand out "day of truth" cards to classmates in response to the "day of silence" the day before, will go forward. The school filed a motion to dismiss and the judge rightly denied the motion. The ADF issued a press release about it. I can't imagine on what possible grounds the school tried to argue the case should be dismissed. The case is pretty much a no-brainer.

In the "motion standstill" illusion, a rapidly moving object is perceived as motionless, and yet not blurred.
I really do love illusions of all sorts, in large part because they fit nicely into my narrative about the fallibility of human thought, but illusions are also great as windows into the ordinary working of our brains.
