I suspect that several enterprises were bummed that a Santa Barbara weekly newspaper got independent.com.

An article I read a couple years ago said that 30% of cats are hunters. I guess that wouldn’t apply to feral cats, who presumably need to hunt to live. But it seems like it could be possible to breed cats that are not hunters, for pet purposes.

I dropped my Kindle Voyage in the bathtub last week without any adverse effects. It was only in the water for a second or two.

If you surround yourself with flakes, you get to choose all the vacation rentals—and you get the best bedroom when you arrive!

Welcome to Santa Barbara. Pretty much everyone here does precisely this.

Scientists should develop a one-celled AI robot and let it evolve.

I’m 53, and outside the context described at the end of this post, to me it means “do you do cocaine,” or, sometimes, “do you do any kind of common snortable powder” (that is, coke or meth).

I don’t think it’s hyperbole to call Wikileaks Orwellian. Assange’s message is something like “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

Those secret-shopper emails are real?

Good luck convincing my husband.

#3 and #4 do not seem like “the future” to me. They seem like the present.

As someone who switched from a top-of-the-line Samsung to a Macbook Pro, I can attest to the quality difference, support access, and useful lifespan being significant.

I suspect that future people will find out current binary fixation (you’re into either men or women—or you’re part of a very small, possibly deluded, minority) as odd as we now find the idea that everyone is either heterosexual or defective.

I think this means that Hillary isn’t perfect, in which case, BURN THE WITCH!

The GOP wants to bring back the Fairness Doctrine?

Doesn’t that site already exist, as the Good Men Project?

I once got a $100 for a $20. I notified the bank.
