Fuck Yeah!
Just got my results, and I ended up with 840/1200 marks, which works out as exactly 70 (i.e., a first), meaning I did exactly the bare minimum to get this degree. Hahaha, and the bare minimum amounted to little more than turning up at a friend’s place the night before exams and going over [...]

This story is messed up.
An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.
The boy’s school says he has violated the children’s rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.
The school, in Lund, southern Sweden, argues that if invitations are handed out on [...]

Having spent the past few hours reading and watching YouTube videos in a tired stupor, I somehow seem to have reawakened my idealism. Thus, I would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Chinese totalitarians and religious advocates of censorship for reminding me that Western liberal values are so imperilled, and for triggering in me the [...]

So Long Bananas

According to this NYTimes piece they stand a pretty decent chance of going extinct in the next decade or so.
This has happened before. Our great-grandparents grew up eating not the Cavendish but the Gros Michel banana, a variety that everyone agreed was tastier. But starting in the early 1900s, banana plantations were invaded by a [...]

This is one proposed design for floating cities that could have a role to play in countering or adapting to climate change. The cities are self-sufficient and movable, and are designed to house 50,000 people. Vincent Callebaut is the name of the fellow who came up the concept. I wonder if he ever played Final [...]

I wrote this a few days ago while I was in a bod mood and listening to Broken. I guess if the whole medicine thing doesn’t work for I can always go write for Kerrang! or some other childish music magazine…
Being in a bad mood, by definition, is not enjoyable. However, it is only under [...]
