Watched the 1st episode of the new Lost in Space. Won't bother with the rest.

Where they lost me: they have no idea what -60°F is like, or how water freezes. So done with it now.

Trump, October 2016:

"On Syria’s civil war, Trump said Clinton could drag the United States into a world war with a more aggressive posture toward resolving the conflict."

Wheee. The snow has started pouring down. I scurried home and am hunkered down, not going to emerge until spring. Or maybe Monday.

Are they trying to tell me heterosexuals are boring?

Waiting for the promised blizzard. So far, it's just calm and very gray out there.

I wish Answers in Genesis would ban me -- I wasted too much time and money on their awful theme parks.

Fellow nerds: CA SB 822 would be a good thing for the world.

We have some kind of horrendous winter storm coming in for the weekend, but if I'm snowed in, that's OK: OrbitCon, the online social justice conference, is happening Friday & Saturday.

Today is teaching, then my annual review, then going back to the doctor for more needles, then back to oversee a seminar, then collapsing at home and not moving for 16 hours. It is a good plan. Especially that last bit.

Michael Moorcock on regressive politics, terrible authors, and the ugly zeitgeist…in 1977.

I reposted a video of an old debate, and say a few words about my antipathy to debate.

For those who noticed my comment, my sister is out of surgery and doing well -- as well as one can after having bits of your body hacked off.

I’ve attacked religious beliefs…using science!

@indi You're a man? I'm a man. That's why we never hear about these things.

Now I feel chastened about my trivial achey knee. My little sister is currently under the knife for a cancer surgery -- 5 hours of surgery.

This is fun, just sitting here, feeling pain build in my knee. I didn't do nothin'! I don't deserve this! I'm being good!

Clearly there is no justice in the universe.

Eh, Ryan is just making his getaway before the cops arrive.
