Friday Links (difficult people edition)!

It's Friday! The fourth Friday in October, and Halloween is still a week away!!

Who knew that October '14 would be the month when more than a dozen states would get marriage equality? We knew the good news about equality couldn't last, but why did this week have to be all about douche-y people?

Anyway, here is a collection of news and other things that I ran across over the course of the week which struck me as worthy of being shared:
