You know how sometimes the implications of physics are unsettling to our perceived nature of the universe?

Cool Clouds Turn Light to Matter

A fleeting pulse of light has been captured and then made to reappear in a different location by US physicists.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ahhh, the BBC news never fails me.

Scotland - there's always a murder or attack, usually by knife.

Ireland - Scandal, Sinn Fein, IRA, Political Intrigue.

Wales - It's snowing! We're building a new train line!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'm here...not much to say. But I'm saying it.

I'm *not* here and I'm saying it!

(No, really, I'm writing an exam for my students! For the class I'm the lecturer. Writing an exam on my own, without anybody to override me and supervise and tell me what I did wrong. And that's not stressing me at all, nope, no sir).

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm here. I shouldn't be, I should be studying or grading, but I'm sick, so I'm here.
