Who You Calling Authoritative?

Thanks to the UK Times for including The Loom among their top science blogs. It's great company to be in, including fellow Discover blogs Bad Astronomy and the Intersection. I am just going to assume that the Times has not yet discovered Cosmic Variance, because its omission is a gross oversight. I also think their description of the Loom as "authoritative science writing" may be a bit of an oversight, too (as flattering as it maybe). I mean, really: Duck porn? Tattoo parlors? Cockroach zombies? Other adjectives come to mind...
