I was thinking about dinner, and decided I wouldn't dine on aliens tonight. Not vegetarian, anyway.

It's been a downhill slide ever since Reagan.

Someday, historians will look at this period of American history, throw up their hands, and wonder why people didn't do anything before it got this bad.

Winter may be making me more pessimistic than usual.

@slightlyflightyone @techluvr34 Tarantulas are tough to distinguish -- in general, you need to be able to clearly see the palps (front of the head) to tell. Even that is tough in tarantulas. They usually recommend looking at the interior of a shed exoskeleton to see some internal differences.

George Pell got the lawyer he deserved.

@lilithsaintcrow Tease.

Philosophy colloquium here tonight…planning to attend despite manifest incompetence at philosophy. Maybe I'll learn something.

Thomas Smith, Aaron Rabi, and I talk about the movie Annihilation, deep ecology, cancer, and haunting bears.

Twitter actually acted on a nitwit gloating about creating fake news. I'm astonished.

Facebook has done nothing yet.

Not a Christian symbol. How stupid does George Will think we are?

@rey That's fine, as long as they swoon over me.

If only all it took was fashion.

Ugh. "Psychic" is another word for "parasitic ghoul".

Rot in hell, Pell.

@bobjonkman @randynose @troubleMoney @hairylarry There's also the whole business of loading them into a trebuchet, which takes some time to prepare. (Although I was surprised to learn a trained team can fire off 4 shots per minute).
