A sunny day so far here in Providence, though there may be thunderstorms this afternoon. Still, we were told we'd have a cloudy, rainy day in the mid-fifties, and, instead, we've gotten a sunny morning in the mid-sixties, so that's not so bad ( Read more... )

Earth’s carrying capacity is estimated by ecologists to be about two billion people (which we reached in 1927...

Which Is why I find the Fred Pearce "The coming population crash" current media blitz so distressing. Too little! Too late! Too likely to undermine itself!

Indeed. A stable population is no reprieve. It will, at best, mean a greater loss to Earth's biodiversity before human population truly crashes (and I'm talking dropping back into the hundreds of millions).

Spooky's been watching Glee and enjoying it. Last night, I watched the "Power of Madonna" episode with her and...to my great surprise...loved it. The I watched "Hairology," because I wanted to see if the newest episode was a fluke, but no, I liked it, as well. Let's just say I'm still a little weirded out. Sue Sylvester rules.

Glee is one of the darkest shows around, somehow masquerading as the brightest show on TV. I'm personally waiting for a Rush episode where everyone starts singing "Subdivisions."

Kath and I *LOVE* Glee and the comments made here are right about it. It is subversive in many ways; and Jane Lynch (Sue) is gay which makes it even greater.

I also *LOVE* the sea glass necklaces and orderd one the minute I saw them. Spooky is very talented!

Sue Sylvester is one of the greatest things to happen to TV. Jane Lynch is absolutely brilliant. I loved her in "Best in Show" with Jennifer Coolidge.

Glee......hit me again bleedingtom April 22 2010, 23:00:57 UTC
After decades of diving into horror and the weird, science fiction by the library-ful, and staining my eyes with movies of the same ilk, I find my enjoyment of Glee to be a bit disquieting too. My favorite show was Red Dwarf, and here I am, waiting for glee. Ill blame on the hypodermic syringe of the Dvd, letting me experiance the show in 4 hour increments.

Does it make a hippy or an optimist that I believe cancer, and disease and natural disasters are just the earth trying to regulate us?
