That feeling you get when you try to be virtuous and read your e-mail...and all of it seems to be "Read my book! Take it! It's free! Read it! Review it! Help me sell it!" and now you have 50 e-books open in one window and the e-mail is shoving a hundred more in your face...
Oy. Oy as in Yiddish--woe! Also oy as in Cockney--hey! Non-reviewers! Youall should be reviewers too! Share the FUN!
I love books. I love a good cold glass of water, too, but I don't want to be dropped into the river to drown.
Animals
British butterflies. Two also exist in North America (most of the continent); the ones photographed could probably crossbreed with some butterflies here.
Books
Melissa Dowland, half of the Roadside Naturalist blog team, has a book coming out:
Glyphosate Awareness
No link, but Steve Milloy just died, as far as I'm concerned.
Anyone who talks about "scientific" studies of glyphosate needs to produce studies of samples from patients with chronic bleeding conditions that vary from day to day. If ANY significant number of such patients, including the SSRI victims, don't lose more blood when their blood contains glyphosate, I'd like to know about that. Meanwhile, "the science" has yet to be done because Bayer Science has consistently ignored what all the studies show for all species studied: A majority of individuals exposed to glyphosate never have shown one consistent reaction, because they've all shown different ones, but a majority of individuals in all species show adverse reactions.
It may still be worth the time to explain this to a newly hired yardman, but if any of the technorati pretend not to understand it already, we need to declare them dead and treat them like zombies. Milloy is a bitter clinger who needs to walk into stores and see the storekeeper lock the cash drawer, retreat into a locked office, and call the police to throw him out.
Music
Wu Fei.
John Scalzi won't back down either.
Roger Waters and what survives of Pink Floyd...still rock.
Art Garfunkel. (Warning: lots of lullaby-rock sound. This is a "playlist," apparently not published as an "album," not that you can see any difference online. And listening to the whole thing may cause drowsiness and is NOT recommended for listening in cars.)
Little Big Town. (Warning: bad diction.)
Kodaline.
Dan & Shay.
Needtobreathe.
Peace, the Hope of
War is our species' traditional solution to what happens when men are allowed to get what they want and, as a result, too many women have too many babies. The feminist solution is so much more elegant...
