'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

On NPR SciFriday, one of the climate scientists was pointing out that we base serious policy/personal decisions on conjectures all the time, whether it's what stocks will do, whether an oil field will turn out to be productive, or the point spread on a football game, so why are we so much more resistant to taking steps about climate change?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Just so you know, I've been earwormed with "Karma Chameleon" all day.

The Japanese have sent a probe into orbit around the moon - it has a high-def camera. Here is an "updated" version of the famous "Earthrise" photo: [link]

Pretty. And you really see the stark, monochromatic features of the moon in contrast with the pretty blue Earth.

Ooh. That's a good idea. I should go do that.

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

ugh. Invitation to the company holiday party.

I am the only single person. I HATE this. Ima have to borrow a date. Kristen owes me a bunch of faux girlfriend dates. I don't know any boys.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Want me to send you Joe for the weekend?
