Another irritating thing (TAGLIST)
Quite some time ago wordpress.com changed their interface, in my view, almost entirely for the worst. Too many times people try to dumb down software to try to attract the fools and just make it harder to use for those … Continue reading

caminos less traveled
For most people in southwestern USA camino is one of the most recognized Spanish words but there is a little more to it than some might think. First camino is the 1st person singular (I) present tense of indicative mood … Continue reading
I believe in fortuity
I’ve pondered about what word/concept I’d like to use for the circumstances that sometimes things happen that you don’t expect or predict but that happen to be just what you want or need at that moment. This has happened to … Continue reading

New study on vaccines is unlikely to convince the leftwingnuts since they, like rightwingnuts, live in fact-free bubbles. The whole vaccine thing is ridiculous, utterly no scientific proof yet seemingly reasonable people (like RFK Jr) holding absurd points of view. … Continue reading

Unusual headline choice: In a Catholic publication the headline screams “Doubters of Darwin, here’s your evidence.” Now how should we parse this? That the article contains evidence justifying doubts (and numerous creationist lying article claim) or that it contains evidence … Continue reading

So much for the waste in Iraq: All those lives, all that treasure, and now we see Iraq is helping Iran arm Syria and prop up Assad. Oh goodie, so much for George Dumbya Bush’s and the neocon’s brilliant foreign … Continue reading
Repeat of Face on Mars hysteria again?
Normally I use my other blog for talking about less common words, but in the post I can explore the term pareidolia ⇑ (in short, seeing faces in rocks) which is a more specific instant of the term apophenia ⇑ … Continue reading →
