| 3:46 pm | /headdesk Now that unemployment has topped 10 percent, some liberal-leaning economists see confirmation of their warnings that the $787 billion stimulus package President Obama signed into law last February was way too small. -- NYTWait a second.

| 11:19 pm | Ratty is Missing Pretty concerned, since the cats aren't allowed outside. Either she escaped, or she's spelunking in the walls and is being extremely quiet, or something's very wrong. Update: She escaped. I lured her back in, but she was not happy about it. I expect future difficulties. | ||

| 10:08 pm | Signifier/Signified I always figured that if I ever got a tattoo, I would get an irregular black splotch. Then, when people asked me what my tattoo meant, I could tell them: "That isn't a tattoo. That's cancer." | ||

| 2:32 pm | The Virtue of Carnivory One vegetarian of my acquaintance explains her standard as follows: "I refuse to eat anything that had a face." Wikipedia summarizes this stance: Various ethical reasons have been suggested for choosing vegetarianism. It has been argued, for example, that the production, slaughter, and consumption of meat or animal products is unethical. Reasons for this include a belief in animal rights, an aversion to inflicting pain or harm on other sentient beings, or a belief that the unnecessary killing of other animals is inherently wrong.This popular stance is moral tourism. Why? Because everything dies, whether a human is involved or not, and under normal circumstances, nearly all sentient beings die in agony and terror. If humans provide a meat animal with a comfortable life and a painless death, that is at the very least no worse than allowing them a "natural" life and death1, and arguably morally superior. To quote Temple Grandin: I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we've got to do it right. We've got to give those animals a decent life and we've got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect. 1: Leaving aside the fact that the natural environment of a domesticated cow or pig is a farm. | ||

| 12:01 am | Conventions Advantage of going to cons alone: don't have to deal with other people (share rooms, coordinate schedules, wait at meeting points). Disadvantage of going to cons alone: nobody to talk to. (Bring a book.) | ||

| 12:32 am | What The Hell Do You Eat? II Granola, Kinda: Pecans Walnuts Dried, shredded, unsweetened coconut Fresh or frozen fruit Erythritol/stevia/whatever sweetener you prefer Almond and vanilla extracts Half and half Put pecans and walnuts in a plastic zip-lock bag and smash vigorously with a rolling pin or other blunt object until a coarse, crumbly paste results. Microwave or bake nuts until piping hot and aromatic. Add artificial sweetener, coconut, and enough water to moisten--the water should sizzle on contact with the nuts. Stir to mix. Add fruit. If using frozen fruit, mix again and let sit briefly so the berries thaw and the nut mixture cools. Add almond, vanilla, and half and half. Yum. | ||
