The Larger World

Are You Pondering What I’m Pondering?

Stuff on my mind as the day begins:

Mr. Goodell, we the fans, players, coaches, and sane observers of the NFL beg you, make a deal to bring back the real refs.

Bye, Mitt. We hardly knew ye. Let’s keep it that way.

Bill Nye wishes people would get it through their heads the Earth isn’t 6,000-10,000 years old.

Using artificial intelligence to model the structure of the universe: see what we can do when we apply ourselves?

Viewers of Fox News are getting bad information about climate change, which means we’ll have to add that topic to the list of stuff Fox News viewers get bad information about. That said, I’m not sanguine about any effort that depends on pleading with News Corp to develop better standards and practices for accurately disseminating information.

Later.
