Notes from a bemused canuck
And he’s off for another scout summer camp. This time, he seemed pretty excited to go. He’s been up since 5:30… He is so Katy’s son though. Nervous stomach, manic displacement, “there, I’ve interacted with a human being!” [actual quote, that last one]

If Roko has an accident and we all die, half the digital nutrition and health team snuffs it.
Ook, I say.
I was having a beer and a chin-wag with Colin when he pointed out the moon to me, over the alps and the lake. He said something that really struck a chord: for our kids, this view is a normal, everyday thing. They don’t realise that there are quite a few many places that are not as nice as this. He’s right, and for all of its idiosyncrasies, Switzerland has been good to us.
Now imagine when your day is full of meetings…

This! This! It’s like he sees into out house!
Snow Leopards can’t roar like other big cats but they have the most majestic tails ever to compensate. Their tails are almost as long as they are – somewhere between 80 to 105 centimetres long! They are mainly used to help them balance, however, they can also serve as a perfect object to OM NOM NOM on!
It’s unknown exactly why snow leopards enjoy biting their enormous, fluffy tails. Some theories are that biting their tails helps keep them warm in the harsh cold of their natural environments. Others suggest that it’s simply a form of play behavior. Maybe it’s simply genetic, or maybe they just can’t resist the fluff? Just look at those tails.
I usually get my news either from the BBC or the Guardian, with the occasional op-ed or investigative report from the WaPo or the NY Times. I’ll sometimes read longer pieces from Slate, Vox or the New Yorker. My slant is definitively more liberal though, as the only time I give any thought to Fox, Drudge or InfoWars is to comment on how batshit-crazy they are. And sadly, that’s where a lot of people get their “news”, including the “Sentient caps-lock button” that is Trump.
