The city was so deserted it only took my bus 18 minutes to go from Battery Park through the Holland Tunnel into Jersey City.
It normally takes 45.

Weather was perfect, and everything was just…charming
the paddock
and as they were loaded in to the gate
and they’re off!
American Pharoah pulls away! The roar in the stands was nothing short of amazing.
What a lovely, pleasant day.

There’s a lot of territory between “no war with Russia” and “Putin is your friend ” it seems to me.
These people are nucking futs.

Backstory: The power adapter on Daughter’s laptop is fraying, so being the Concerned Father that I am I texted her about getting her a new one…
(verbatim transcription of the messages)
Bingley: You have the 15 MacBook Pro right? 2012?
Daughter: Not sure but I think so yeah
Daughter: Pretty Sure
Bingley: Do you have it in front of you?
Daughter: I am out drinking actually
Bingley: Haha much better!

Gerbil Warmening causes a glacier to, um, grow
From NOAA Earth Observatory: Since measurements began in 1895, Alaska’s Hubbard Glacier has been thickening and steadily advancing into Disenchantment Bay. The advance runs counter to so many thinning and retreating glaciers nearby in Alaska and around the world.
…According to Leigh Stearns, a glaciologist at the University of Kansas, Hubbard’s advance is due to its large accumulation area; the glacier’s catchment basin extends far into the Saint Elias Mountains. Snow that falls in the basin either melts or flows down to the terminus, causing Hubbard to steadily grow. In addition, Hubbard is building up a large moraine, shoveling sediment, rock, and other debris from Earth’s surface onto the glacier’s leading edge. The moraine at the front gives the glacier stability and allows it to advance more easily because the ice does not need to be as thick to stay grounded. (If it is thin, it can start floating and will not necessarily advance.)
But of course, Gentle Readers, savvy types that you are you already knew all about this.

Well, ok, a lot of people do. Today’s example are these folks
Paleontologists Slam ‘Jurassic World,’ Call Movie ‘Major Step Backward For Accuracy’
WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – “Jurassic World” is poised to make monster money at the box office this weekend. And while that’s certainly good for Universal Studios, it’s a pain in the neck for another group: paleontologists.
They say while it’s good the movie series has renewed interest in dinosaurs, audiences come away with skewed ideas about how dinosaurs really lived
.
“You deal with these inaccuracies over and over every time you give a talk,” James Kirkland, who has been involved in the discovery of 20 dinosaurs, including the Utahraptor, told CBS News.He would rather filmmakers focus on science, and not make people believe that a T-Rex can’t see you if you stay perfectly still or that velociraptors can open doors.
“It gets really old after a while,” Kirkland added. “If they wouldn’t do that, we wouldn’t have to deal with this. We could step to the more interesting issues like what we are discovering next.”
Are you kidding me, you pomptastic ass? Repeat after me: It’s. A. Friggin. Movie.
What’s next? The American Society of Anthropology complaining that Orcs are actually humble farmers and not the violent bloodthirsty beasts that LOTR (awash in the morass of its Gondor Privilege) portrays them as?
