Nothing (more) to see here – June 14
Had some leftovers… #
- A 17-year-old Red Panda died today at the Woodland Park Zoo here in Seattle. The animal – also known as the Lesser Panda – died of an apparent inferiority complex.
- This is bizarre. The DEA, surely in the interest of producing a thorough report on the drug problem, develops what is more or less a how-to on how to grow and process opium.
- Adam Felber has a nice take on the latest Supreme Court ruling, but I find it extremely disturbing for another reason: it seems to me that the decision could further weaken father’s rights. Just because one parent has custody of a child, does that mean that the other is a second-class citizen when it comes to guiding a child’s developing understanding of the world? This is splitting the hair rather thin, I think.
- I was just mentioning this technology for creating a cloak of invisibility to a friend the other day.
- Must come back to the subject of Stanley Milgram, proponent of, among other things, the Six Degrees of Separation theory.
- The open letter to President Bush from a group calling themselves Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change will be released later this week, according to this BBC report. The letter, signed by 53 former diplomats, including a former chair of the joint Chieves of Staves, is part of an ongoing “Revolt of the Professionals.” Read the article for the classically insipid comment at the end.
