Once again, xkcd simply nails it.
Sickness. “… I’m going to live to experience more of it thanks to people who refused to gracefully accept the ineffability of reality.”

“… rhetoric from reality…”
“Since 2007 we have been deliberately placing some of our servers in jurisdictions that we suspected suffered a free speech deficit in order to separate rhetoric from reality. Amazon was one of these cases.” — Julian Assange
“The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.” — John Gilmore
“How many of you have broken no laws this month?” — John Gilmore
“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” — John 8:7, King James Bible

Tim Minchin Can So Do Mellow…
A surprisingly nice Christmas song from Australian genius Tim Minchin:
He does get a few classic Minchin digs in (“the lyrics are dodgy” is a personal favourite) but it’s mostly a very nice song about family, holidays and such. The real meaning of the upcoming Solstice holiday, in whatever version most of us celebrate it, in other words.
Quite a change from my first introduction to Minchin, which was the F-bomb-laced, glorious and awesome “Pope Song”…
Anyone offended by the Pope Song hasn’t actually listened to the lyrics.

Snow. Meh.
Victoria isn’t supposed to get snow, dammit. We’re supposed to watch it on our TV screens and visit it on skihills. (I say this every time we get snow…)
