What time is it?
I think it might just be Concession O’Clock, Mrs. Clinton.
Hah. Just kidding. She’ll keep fighting for fairness that benefits her more than the other guy.
(I’m not alone in thinking it’s a damn shame that Florida and Michigan got to seat delegates, am I? I mean, it’s not like anyone in those states was unaware that their votes wouldn’t count. Ah well, at least we know better than to expect the Democrats to behave any better than the Republican when it comes to following rules.)
Are you reading Freakangels yet? Why not?
Warren Ellis has a weekly webcomic running over there. He’s a living god, so prostrate yourselves and go play catchup.
Showering… now with 46% more brutality.
So, I have this habit of buying stupid products that I find incredibly amusing.
As some of you may or may not know, I use Axe Bodywash. It’s a dark shame, I know. I loathe everything about Axe’s marketing, but dammit if that bodywash doesn’t smell great. While at the grocery store I spotted this:
What the hell. This thing is ridiculous. It’s a regular black loofa with a rubber grip around one side. In the middle of the rubber grip is a much rougher loofa thing (for cleaning hands, elbows, and feet, according to the packaging. Who knew my elbows were so dirty?).
It was two bucks, How could I resist?
Beaten to the punch!
I’ve always wanted to do this, but this guy did it better than I could have ever hoped to do.
Oh man.
Independence Day
I just finished watching ID4, and a few thoughts occur.
How does humanity recover both physically from the destruction of almost the entirety of its major infrastructure? The aliens erased every major city, that’s gonna be a pain in the ass to rebuild.
Are there any intergalactic repercussions from committing genocide, even in self defense? It’s explicitly stated that the aliens are carrying their entire civilization from planet to planet, desperately trying to gather the necessary resources to survive and propagate their species.
And the more practical musing: what exactly are we going to do with several billion tons of burning alien scrap metal. Each one of those ships was 15 miles wide! Is it releasing hazardous fumes? Most likely. It’s going to be burning for year. What did they use to power their propulsion systems? Whatever it is, interstellar starship fuel is probably not intended be introduced into foreign ecosystems. Did we forgo extinction just die horribly over the next decade?
Who knows? (and let’s not mention the large debris from the much larger mothership that exploded directly over our atmosphere)
G’night everyone!
Goddammit, Japan.
