Jules Crittenden thinks that Tethered: A Novel is the bee’s knees, and while he may be matrimonially biased it did get some good reviews. It’s not my standard fare – as far as I can tell, there isn’t a single exploding starship, implausible zeppelin, angels with rocket launchers, and/or allohistorical map anywhere in the book – but I figure that Jules wouldn’t steer me wrong. Besides, it’s kind of interesting to see how the rest of the world impinges on the world of political blogging.
OK, so I’m weird that way.
Then again, I went to bed insanely early (for me). The Sundries Shack reminds us that there’s also viewing opportunities tonight, moonlight and weather permitting. Useful orientation video here:
I’m going to try for just after dusk, myself.

You know something? I’m going to go to bed early. It’s been a longish day and I’m tired.
Via @jaketapper, the story that you always knew that you’d read some day.
SAO PAULO, Brazil – In one murder after another, the “Canal Livre” crime TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene, gathering graphic footage of the victim.
Do I really need to keep going?
Too uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show’s host, state legislator Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil’s Amazon region is awash in violent crime. Police also have accused Souza of drug trafficking.
The ironic bit is, of course, that you could throw a script around this concept and sell it to any number of crime drama television shows in a heartbeat*. Hell, take away the murders and the drugs and you’ve got a Scooby-Doo episode.
Well, maybe just take away the murders.

*Except Law & Order: Infinite Regress. Too much work adding the three plot twists and twp places where they complain about New York judges.
I used to sing this one… nah, that’s a boring story.
Some might call it “indoctrination.”
Bah. Some are foolish.

PS: You can watch all of Voltron: Defenders of the Universe on YouTube now.
You’re welcome.
…with my wife – well, this isn’t always a good example. Sometimes we go with gaming theory, I bore her with political minutiae, or there’s always something worth talking about involving the child’s Digestive System. If even that pales, we can spend quality time playing the game Is this a symptom of pregnancy? – only, the answer is always yes.
Nonetheless. Gnomic Verses with Harp. She does this for fun. When she’s not working on robots.
Ha!

And Glenn Reynolds explains why the University of Tokyo is at this very minute suddenly not caring at all that there’s a recession going on.
Yup. Western civilization may now start making preparations for an orderly, controlled collapse.
This is wrong on multiple levels.
You can stop the pain any time you like, of course.
