And what could be cuter than a tiny baby sugarglider?
Now I’m off to unpack, cuddle the cats and make an omelette, but not all at once. Obviously.
Afterthought: that doesn’t mean I’m not perfectly capable of it if the mood takes me that way. I know how to party.
For Hillary (and Gordon) and the rest of their entire stinking, hypocritical political generation:
My only comfort is that just like so many others are as a result of their policies, they’ll be dead soon too. Brown Clinton Blair Bush and all their fellow travellers and conspiracists betrayed the postwar ideals of their parents and in the name of ‘neoliberalism’ led us into a world where tyranny’s on the rise not in retreat. Yet still they cling on grimly to power despite almost universal calls for their exit.
The music is about all that they and their fellow greedy boomers with their boundless sense of entitlement and equally boundlessly shallow morals will leave behind them that’s worth cherishing.
This salutory lecture by Elizabeth Warren (via Unfogged) is definitely worth a watch if you’ve a break this morning, but it’s unlikely to cheer you up:

Or if that’s just too bloody depressing you could just go out and sit in the sun and contemplate the wonder that is spring.

Update II
No robot squid, but the colossal squid is being defrosted.
Thomas “I making millions telling the rest of you stupid little stories about globalisation and why that means you should embrace your job going to India” Friedman gets pied:
Pieing someone like Friedman is usually portrayed as being childish, but as Ogged says: “The real appeal of something like this is that moment where the public mask drops, and you see a silly flailing man“. If done right it momentarily destroys the authority and unearned legitimacy of such public figures, gives them a little bit of payback for the years of shouting at the telly or newspaper they inflicted on us.
