Bloodthirsty 'factual' Discovery, NatGeo, History Channel, Animal Planet TV shows demonise wildlife:

Journalist Adam Welz blows the lid off of how major US TV networks are depicting killing animals for profit. Wolves, grizzly bears, lynx cats, and other animals are being trapped, shot with AK-47s, and painted as dangerous threats on national networks NatGeo, Discovery, and other “reality TV” shows. Click through for more.

There is a storm brewing.

Just a reminder that the music that comes from Seattle is better than the music from anywhere else.

Discovered this wonderful vocalist last night. We were out getting cocktails at a lovely little bar for my last night in Madrid and this music was playing and it was perfect. This one is a Leonard Cohen cover so you know it’s good.

matthen:

The bending of a light ray depends only on the angle it hits the lens, and not on the thickness of the glass. This means thick lenses can be made thinner, as shown here. This is called a Fresnel lens, and is used to make magnifying sheets as well as in lighthouses. [more] [code]

BATMAN 1989”

We’re knights of the Round Table
Our shows
Are form-

But many times
We’re given rhymes
That are quite un-sing-able

“What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

It’s harder to tell when I’m drunk now because I’ve got both a lot better at typing when I’ve been drinking and a lot worse at typing when I’m sober.

On a side note to that last post, how do people even know when someone unfollows you? Until just now I thought I had a general sense of how people and robot accounts graciously choose to follow me, but then I checked and I was off by 33% so I don’t understand how people notice when that happens.

I unfollowed you after you unfollowed me but I still look at your blog sometimes :(

Sun, 05 May 2013 22:02:18 -0700

Oh I hope you don’t take it personally! I just follow a lot of blogs and my dashboard gets overwhelmed sometimes and I sort of haphazardly (I initially spelled this halfhazardly…) unfollow blogs I don’t interact with regularly. It doesn’t mean I don’t like you!
