Ever notice how the least likable characters are the most morally intact? Except maybe Paul and Linda McCartney…they seemed to do all right for the short cameo they had. But Lisa isn’t typically scoring a lot of ‘like points’ unless she’s being uncharacteristically mean or sneaky. I suppose Maggie giving Homer a non-toxic playdoughnut was a nice gesture that endeared her to me a little more…but if it had been a real donut, well I’m not sure if the endearment would have been as deep.

I guess the Simpsons helps us cope with the darker tendencies lurking in our midbrains…and it feels kinda…nice.

Believe it or not, I think the Christian Science Monitor puts out good articles. I’m not religious. I’m also not in the current US conservative camp. It’s too bad it’s paywalled. But the few articles I’ve read actually seemed nicely nuanced, pretty balanced, and interesting.

The Things We Make by Bill Hammack is engaging and talks about the history of engineering as its own pioneering thing (and not just a practical application of scientific discoveries).

A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn is pretty engaging.

1491 by Mann is a particular favorite of mine.

I guess I believe in quantum mechanics in the immediate nanoscopic realm and diffusive entropic dominance in the long-term gigantosphere. Hard to say which side Gravity will favor…

I always liked this Faye Wong song. Not hard enough to be metal, but I think it’s still edgy and kind of haunting.

No Lacuna Coil?

Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil. Does Blackmore’s Night count? Actually, I don’t know if any of these technically count as metal. But I like them anyway.
