linkspamminating out on a Friday
Old Spooks fans might enjoy reading this appreciation of David Oyelowo. (Danny! ::sob::) I had no idea he'd been cast as MLK in Selma. That's awesome.
OK, yes, money cannot buy happiness. (But it can buy medicine and kitchen supplies...)
Every once in a while Outside reminds me why I subscribed for so long: for instance, this investigation of sexual abuse of junior swimmers by their coaches. [Warning for explicit accounts of rape and other forms of abuse.]
Also: The High Cost of Oil, about the tar sands exploitation in Canada.
Huh, looks like I have a new climbing blog to follow. (Which reminds me: gotta get my shoes resoled, again, since the last resoling didn't take. So annoying.)
And these are awesome pictures of scientists descending into a giant hole in Siberia.
It's an amazing time when the Pope would do a better job as chair of Senate Environment and Public Works Committee than a US Senator would. And holy crap, I didn't know that Bobby Jindal has a degree in biology from Brown and still claims he doesn't know if evolution is a thing. ::flails in despair::

Got some bad news pet-wise today. SIGH. Damn. If money could fix things, I'd spend the money, but I'm thinking it won't help much. Think good thoughts for TNG. She's the sweetest thing and deserves a good life, for however much she has left.
