The beauty of “The Snowman” is that no one talks. There’s no need for dialog. You know exactly what’s going on the whole time. I’m sure American TV producers could not imagine such a thing. So glad it exists!

TIL about a Japanese micro-appliance called a futon dryer. Used to dry, warm, and even sanitize futons, can also do so much more! This one is a basic model, with most around the $200-300 range with many options, and of course a few even higher. Seems like a nifty thing.

We descend into barbary at sea and ignorance at home and imagine this will somehow make the US great. Soon we will see not just books but whole libraries burned by these violent ideologs in the name of denial.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.
