NASA Almost Ready to Find the Aliens, Horrific Comcast Service Call Raises Eyebrows, Cards Against Humanity Co-Creator Accused of Rape: A.M. Links

• Israeli airstrikes against
  Palestinians
  resumed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday after Hamas rejected a
  ceasefire agreement.
• Some NASA astronomers are
  predicting the discovery of alien life in the universe
  within 20 years.
• An
  unbelievably nightmarish Comcast service call is giving the
  company very bad PR at a time when it wants the federal government
  to approve its merger with Time Warner Cable. During the 10-minute
  call, a Comcast customer service representative abjectly refused to
  cancel a customer’s cable and berated the customer for being
  insufficiently positive about Comcast’s internet speeds.
• For years, the University of California at Los Angeles has
  violated state
  law and continued to practice race-based affirmative action,
  according to a new book by a UCLA professor.
• Max Temkin, one of the co-creators of the popular party game
  “Cards Against Humanity,” was accused of rape by a woman he knew in
  college a decade ago. Temkin
  denied the charge, though the wording of his defense was
  
  criticized by some. CAH has faced its own share of criticism in
  recent weeks—designers removed cards that made fun of rape
  and transvestites after people complained about them.
