1 day until the vernal equinox

I was at a concert of Irish music (one guy on guitar and vocals and one guy on fiddle and occasional vocals) and a lot of the songs are songs about leaving Ireland.

I also learned that every song on Myspace is lost to the aether forever, so I'll never be able to describe Venus In Pisces to you. I should probably mention that Venus in Pisces is by Intelligent Light, so that the two or three people who care can find this. I mean, there are people out there who have seen Batman Fights Dracula. Sorry. It also means there's no point in buying Myspace. That's what happens when you let people who aren't Mithridates the Lone handle Mypace. Apparently, it ended up in the hands of a data-mining company. Shows what I know. I thought they were still trying to remold it into another Soundcloud with the help of Justin Timberlake and they were just staggeringly inept at it.

If you want to get a boomer riled up, say that there was good music made after 1985. Sometimes even 1980. Point out that 1969 was a relatively weak year in music, as people were moving away from psychedelia and towards Clasic Rock and arena rock (hippies were the intersection of the counterculture, which Nixon was cracking down on, and the anti-war movement, which was winding down as the war was winding down, and then include the Manson Family and the Hells Angels).

Daniela gave me a recipe for gumbo, courtesy of Alton Brown and the Food Network. She told me to take the towels that were in the bowls directly to laundry without passing go. Or maybe Julia said that.

We have a baby musk turtle because one of our techs found one dead and was able to scoop out some eggs. The people we were showing them to thought it looked like a rock. That ability works even better when they're against a backdrop of more rocks and mud and not against the glass of the tank and the white of the heating pad.
We had a cooper's hawk with a comminuted fracture, that is to say, it was crushed and there were bits of bone in there, who was severely emaciated. We were probably going to euthanize it if it didn't die on us.
We had a baby bat.
We released one of the barred owls and one of the red-tailed hawks.

Christabel was eating what looked like three bean salad with lentils and apple chunks. Marlie was eating shrimp scampi.
Daniela feels bad for the microwave, because it gets as much use as the dryer, but, as she said, there is no rest for the wicked.

Veronica likes to draw things in pencil, scan them, and then color them with a computer.

That's probably exactly what they're saying. "all right, we condemned this. Your move, libtards." Call me when that happens.
It doesn't quite work because their main concern is how it makes the far right look.

I think this makes Celia Hayes the worst of the Mad Geniuses for a long long time and I think had I any desire to read her books, I wouldn't now. Peter Grant's response was surprisingly decent, in that his going concern is now Muslims will feel justified to bomb the shit out of a bunch of Gilets Jaunes or Skrajojantis Boys, and not that it makes Hotwheels, Pewdiepie, and Joshua Moon look bad (Torgersen, Drow) or that it's simply a false flag (V MOTHERFUCKIN D). A lot of them stayed silent. I said Hoyt herself but Hoyt went on a rant about... Saint Patrick's Day and integration and how Arabs have nothing to fear from white supremacists, and integrations means fearing what we fear, eating what we eat, hating who we hate on our terms. And there's just so much wrong with it. I had a thought about the cuckoo clock in hell and people who have a coherent train of thought for a while before jumping off to absurd conclusions, and this isn't it. This is more like the book IQ And The Wealth Of Nations. For instance, Hoyt says that most Muslims are "part of the Mediterranean subrace of the white race" and that's not true. 20-25 percent of Muslims are Arab. That was a guess. I can't say exactly because there are Arabs outside the Arab countries and there are non-Arabs in the Arab countries.
People like Tim Pool and Brad Torgersen are saying that if we condemn the far right or go after the chans or Kiwi Farms or Cringe Anarchy for encouraging terrorism, the we're just playing into his hands. No, what we really need to do is hold hands with our friendly neighborhood Nazis, sing "tra la la la la" and subscribe to Pewdiepie.
burning question: and even if we are playing into his hands by condemning the chans and Pewdiepie, so? We're still making a better world.
