While Sparky and I were goofing around under the dining room table, I noticed that the rug needed to be vacuumed. That didn’t sound fun, so I figured out how to mount a camera on Sparky’s back.

I am always going to click on an article that sounds like the name of a Tom Clancy novel. This article opens with a photo of a submarine conning tower jutting through the ice. There are a few other nice photos and what seems to be a deep analysis of the geopolitics of the Arctic.
I don’t know anything about the organization, IM, that posted the article, but it seems balanced and informative. I only read a bit of it, was in over my head, and Sparky wants to go outside.
Let me know if it’s worth reading.
Ultra-processed foods and cardio-metabolic health
We are doing terribly. Ultra-processed foods make up 58% of the average American’s diet.
New York Dolls frontman David Johansen dead at 75
Well, that’s a shame. I was never hip enough to know about the New York Dolls or to follow David Johansen, but was fond of his alter ego, Buster Poindexter.
Historic all-woman space flight to include Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez
This sexist article is so patronizing.
Blue Origin says its next spaceflight is set to make history.
With celebrities such as Katy Perry, Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King on board, the all-woman crew will fly into space when the New Shepard spacecraft launches from the West Texas desert this spring. The company says it’s the first all-woman flight since the Soviet Union’s Valentina Tereshkova’s solo spaceflight in 1963.
With foreign trade and tariffs in the news, that map of Top Import Partner of Every U.S. State is a little bit interesting.
Sparky had some drama on Valentine’s Day, but he and Skunk have patched things up or come to an arrangement. I don’t know, I wasn’t really listening because Skunk is just a plushie from Tractor Supply.
We are being manipulated. We have always been manipulated, but in the past decade or so, it’s been more obvious. How does something like the George Floyd case get world-wide attention? Yeah, the incident is terrible, but in a country of 350 million people, all sorts of things happen all the time.
NYT: Trump’s New Deputy F.B.I. Director Has It Out for the ‘Commie Libs’
Michelle Goldberg, the author of this opinion piece, doesn’t understand how much we enjoy this article. It reminds me of that famous dialogue from the movie, Conan the Barbarian.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.
Michelle’s column is all lamentations, and it is good.
We are getting the first complete snow melt-off in almost two months. Sparky is wondering why I’m scooping up all his poop, and tossing it into the woods. Sparky isn’t disappointed in me, but he is wondering why I bother.
