Tonight's ONT Is CrazySo, people* often ask me what it's like to do an ONT. *I say “people”, but really it might be one of my other personalities. Klaus, I think, the Bavarian fishmonger who doubles as a penny-a-throw male whore at the local Gasthaus on weekends. I'm really not sure anymore. Have a Drink
This was a better article than I expected. It laid off of the usual We're-all-going-to-die-in-12-years! ecoweenie stuff, instead it acknowledges the usefulness of the process, but points out that there is a major by-product, brine, and says we better figure out a use for it. Refreshing.
Sarah Hoyt is a sci-fi author, and while I confess that I've never read any of her books (not intentionally or anything, I've just never come across one), the writing she does on her blog is sharp and on point and demonstrates a keen mind for dissecting the culture. Like this one: Bad Crazy
Bad crazy often starts as a bridge made out of soap. Insane-crazy, a theory dreamed by some college professor with too much time on his or these days often her hands and an ax to grind or a pony to ride. Read the whole thing, it's not just about “toxic masculinity”. Tough Guy You may be tough, but you'll never be "Yank a tooth out of a wide awake tiger's mouth" tough.
I've really come around to this kind of thinking lately. I tend to view things through an historical lens. For most of my life I've thought of Western Civilization as the natural evolution of society, but lately I've become more cynical and am wondering if it was an aberration, and what we're really doing right now is regressing to the mean. For 99% of human history, society has taken the form of a handful of wealthy/powerful elites ruling absolutely over a vast sea of helpless serfs. We broke that mold half a millennia ago, leading to previously unimagined prosperity for the population of the West. Now it seems that we're squabbling our way back down into the morass. I dunno. Here's something else along those lines. It's at Sarah Hoyt's site (see above), but it's not by her.
I know a lot of you don't care about the NFL anymore, if you ever did, but last weeks' round of championship games featured a awful call. Not as awful as the Martin Gelinas no-goal call that most likely cost the Flames the Stanley Cup in '04, but this one most likely cost the Saints a Super Bowl berth.
That's textbook pass interference, and 2 refs standing right there blew the call. Now some fans want to sue. That's just silly. Instead, just do what I do and bitterly insert references to the blown call into conversations and blog posts for the next 15 years. ;) Presented Without Comment
