It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

moussaka and maybe bolognese (the kind with milk) might be good...this is very helpful!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Meh. I've had this headache on and off the last couple of days. I keeping throwing Advil at it, but it keeps coming back. I hope it's just due to the change in the weather.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just saw a kid riding his bike home from school. He had a helmet, but wasn't wearing it; it was just dangling from the handle bars. I'm guessing when he gets a block or two from home, he'll put it on.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

RSI pain is even worse today due to forced labor yesterday. Can't figure out if I'm better off working through it in order to not concentrate on and thus enlarge the pain or whether I should stay in bed to be less tempted to type and other hand-hurty things.

Perversely, I'm in an almost cheerful mood despite yesterday's family drama and this pain.

I ordered a WaterGreen DroughtBuster water siphon from Wiggly Wigglers and just used that to siphon my shower water onto the lawn. Now I just have to find some sort of adapter from UK hose to US hose so I can lengthen it and have it reach round to my garden. (Don't worry, I use biodegradeable soaps.)

I see that a lot, tommyrot. Makes me a bit sad. Although I hated being forced to wear a helmet when I was a kid, too. OTOH, all that they had then were big Bell mushroom helmets. So kids today have it easy! /Yorkshireman

I remember being 19 or so and heading off to a barbeque or somesuch on the back of my friend Dave's motorcycle and my mom trying to get my dad to make me wear his old flight helmet from the Navy. I was having no part of it.

The right’s climate denialism is part of something much larger

Consider what the Limbaugh/Morano crowd is saying about climate: not only that that the world's scientists and scientific institutions are systematically wrong, but that they are purposefully perpetrating a deception. Virtually all the world's governments, scientific academies, and media are either in on it or duped by it. The only ones who have pierced the veil and seen the truth are American movement conservatives, the ones who found death panels in the healthcare bill.

It's a species of theater, repeated so often people have become inured, but if you take it seriously it's an extraordinary charge. For one thing, if it's true that the world's scientists are capable of deception and collusion on this scale, a lot more than climate change is in doubt. These same institutions have told us what we know about health and disease, species and ecosystems, energy and biochemistry. If they are corrupt, we have to consider whether any of the knowledge they've generated is trustworthy. We could be operating our medical facilities, economies, and technologies on faulty theories. We might not know anything! Here we are hip-deep in postmodernism and it came from the right, not the left academics they hate.

Damn, the Evanston Police still have the same 6 square blocks blocked off. I think they've been there since 7:00 am.
