Noise. Pollution. The Ozone Layer. Acid Rain. AIDS treatment. Cancer cures. Crime rates. Child abductions. As much as we consume doom and gloom in our media, humans are very, very good at solving problems when we want to. We just have to want to.

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Tomorrow is the last day to file for a special election replacing McConnell in Kentucky, so I expect sometime after Five o' clock tomorrow night he might suddenly pass away due to complications from a fall he suffered some weeks back.

The Cartoon Art Museum just sent out a letter announcing that they are closing their location, but will continue as an organization and will take some time to figure out what to do next. Cartoon art museums have always had a rough time in the US. This one lasted a fair while.

Re-Writing Tip I don’t offer advice often on such matters, given my process (annoyingly) changes for each project. However, I’ve used this on my two most recent, and it worked so well I felt I’d share. (1/5)
