Read the classic adventures of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats.
Feds cut interest rate to zero in “emergency effort.”
John Seavey on how to save Marvel Comics (part one).
Blogger guy appeals to the Davos Forum. And then Emma Thompson (of all people) responds. (If Emma Thompson is reading this, my question to her is: do you know any available girls, about my age, who are as awesome as you are? Because you’re goddamned awesome.)
The less funny side of global warming. (Yes, there’s a “less funny side.”)
And finally, here is another long-neglected music video: “Heroic Doses” by Glueleg. Which is notable, because how many bands use a Chapman stick these days?

There’s a funny side to global warming
There was a fascinating article in the Atlantic Monthly a few months back about how by and large, some scientists think the Third World will be hit heavier by global warming, not merely because they don’t have the financial or technological resources, but because the change in climate might actually benefit parts of the First World.
However, this is only a theory.
