Brendan Byrne has a story on the latest nonsense. What does “solidify [NASA’s] risk tolerance process mean”? I guess I have to read the GAO report (as though I don’t have enough to do).
Joss Wheedon
He’s starting a new SF series on HBO. Could be good.
S3x

There is too much here for me to write about this right now, but it’s an important read, on many subjects.
