Blarg. Woke up with a migraine at 7am this morning. Took meds, settled into my new jigsaw puzzle again until they kicked in, and about two hours later a massive thunderstorm with hail hit and passed over really quickly. We're due for storms all day. Never did get back to sleep, and although the migraine is mostly gone my brainmeats are mushier

RSN: Francois Hollande's victory doesn't and shouldn't mean a movement toward socialism in Europe or elsewhere. Socialism isn't the answer to the basic problem haunting all rich nations.

Why the heck not? It's obvious that reforming capitalism is the only way to make things better in the US, but that's only because anything like actual socialism is impossible in the modern US. OTOH, it's not like that's true in a lot of Western Europe.

I've noticed the news here has taken to calling any gathering not part of the tea party as a part of occupy even though several such gatherings were definitely not occupy or even affiliated with occupy. I've also noticed a trend of some of the anarchists claiming to be occupy to stir shit up as anti-government.

Gah, I hate the pseudo-science bullshit that so many of the formerly educational channels are pushing. Once upon a time TLC, Discovery, National Geographic, and History Channel were about some semblance of truth. Now? Not so much.
