Eloquent and succinct.

Behold, a ... I got nothin'.

Nothing says "hey, hot stuff!" like a fibula fracture.

Perfect for serving your #Hanukkah #Ham!

From the comments on the Facebook post where I saw this: "And yet #Elsevier raises prices every year to #libraries and claims it is part of their extensive #peer #review process."

I continue to believe there is value in the traditional #journal system. Specialized #publishers, #editors, peer review, even #subscription fees and paper copies—although really the number of paper copies needed is minimal, and subscription costs should be too. The major journals have done a lot to encourage high-quality #research and spread #knowledge, and I hope they keep doing so for quite some time to come.

None of which means any *specific* journal or publisher should continue to exist, and this shows why. The system is way overdue for a serious mucking out.

One of my favorite concert memories is of being at an #Einstürzende #Neubauten show when some yob in the audience shouted "set shit on fire!" ... and #Blixa #Bargeld snapping back, "We do not need to set things on fire. We have #Rammstein to do that for us."

It might be the angle, but that looks kind of peaky and heavy-tailed to me. I suspect whoever designed the church adheres to the Leptokurtotic Heresy.

He could be anywhere, anywhere at all.

Performative support for the #Israeli government does not provide cover for welcoming literal #Nazis into the ranks. There’s a lot more to the issue than that, and I do believe there is a significant and disturbing #antiSemitic* strain on the left. But it’s not the blue team that will bring the barbed wire and ovens.

*Everyone knows what “anti-Semitic” means, yes? Okay, good. Moving on.

I'm still rather proud of this one.

Happy New Year!

Huh, my idea of #Assyrians doesn’t line up with my idea of #Minnesotans *at all*. But maybe that whole "#MinnesotaNice" thing is just a clever disguise for their #imperial ambitions.

BWAHAHAHA.

I think the people running #Trump's campaign have no idea how much most #Coloradans want out-of-staters to stay that way.
