Why has the government made it illegal to photograph the disaster on the gulf?

Oh. that's why.

Friday Cephalopod: I succumb to peer pressure and will mention Octopolis
September 22, 2017
Wow. Every person on the planet saw one version or another of this "Octopolis" story and had to send it to me. It was the subject of a Friday Cephalopod a year ago, you know. Apparently, this is the second octopus city discovered, which is interesting -- they're exhibiting more complex social…
Friday Cephalopod: we all float down here
September 15, 2017
Pale, drifting quietly, long grasping arms, cold and anoxic…we all float down here. Yes, I'm going to go see It this evening. It won't be half as creepy as the reality of the dark deep, though.

It's open to check out, and is adjacent to a picnic area. There are fenced off areas, but all the fences have giant people-sized holes in them. We thought of it more as: "…
Book Review: Packing for Mars
We live in an age where truth is, if not stranger than fiction, then at least equally strange. Sometimes pop-science books illustrate this point with particular well-researched glee and Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void is such a book. Where do I begin? It's a true nerd's smorgasbord. It answers all the scatological and emotional questions that kids always imprudently ask…
Electoral College Prediction: Trump 241 vs. Clinton 297
I've got a new set of electoral college predictions. I'm using the same method as before, but with these differences: a) I had to use less than ideal polls (c rating, a few that overlapped with days prior to POTUS debate III) on the last run, this time no such polls are used; and b) there are some new polls added in this time. The difference is interesting, and somewhat concerning (compare to…
