Super Sunday. Good day for Football. Bad day for Chickens. Indeed, every day is a bad day for Chickens. While you gnosh on wings today I offer this annual reminder that in the US, we lay, hatch, grow, slaughter, bring to market, buy, cook, and eat, one million chickens per hour.

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Etymology break. - "Clumsy" is first recorded (only) at end of the 1500s - Originally, "acting as if numbed" - From now-obsolete Middle English verb, "clumse," "to be made numb with cold" - Ulterior roots may be Scandivanian (cf. Old Norse "klumsa," "to make speechless") Bring back "clumse"!

A composite of two images. The first is a portrait of philosopher David Hume by Allan Ramsay, painted in 1754, and the second is a candid photo of actor Nicholas Cage turning his head to the camera and smiling slightly.

I've been encountering over the past few days the claim that the planet is warming twice as fast as predicted. This is entirely untruthful and unhelpful. The planet is warming AS fast as predicted, which is cause enough for dramatic action. The truth is bad enough!
