Why We Can't Have Nice Things, part 47

First a laugh:

Second: a free non-zero-sum game from our pal James!

Third (not a laugh): The mass extinction of vegan restaurants (from doom.com, but matches my experience). If we want the world to be better, we have to be honest about the world.

Fourth: In 2006, I gave a presentation about how technology could help animals. Now there's an academic paper along the same lines: Good inventions, not good intentions

Finally (PS below Colbert):

Following up on many, many, many previous posts, yet another example why a rational person shouldn’t trust “higher” education or “scientists”: 

Costco and Princeton and Baseball Cause Cancer

Note: from Harvard and peer reviewed!

What is particularly ironic is that these “scientists” are simply following the liberal anti-nuclear line, leading directly and inevitably to more carbon emissions.
