Love And Rockets’ Hernandez brothers on 30 years in comics
[Quote from Xaime:]
I know how she grew up emotionally—what her ups and downs were, basically, even if I don’t know the exact details. Like I said, every once in awhile, I do have to go back, but overall, it’s just this is my friend Maggie and I know she had a hard time at a time of her life and I know how she is going to react to a modern-day situation. Because I’ve known her, and I know she’s experienced in some ways because of what she’s learned in the past and stuff she’s never learned in the past. Some people learn, some people never learn and they’re sometimes the same person. So that’s basically how I do handle it. It’s not as hard as you’d think, but every once in a while, I go, “What did I do? Oh, OK. So I have to fix this.”
[So much love.]

This morning was garbage day on my street.
i was waiting for the bus when i noticed a grocery bag a few houses down the road. It was beige and unmarked. The opening was tied up, but from the lack of inertia in its movement, the bag looked empty.
The way it was keeping balance while being blown by a light wind, it looked like the bag was a large-cat-sized mouse, with a knot for a tail, skittering back and forth across the road.
A truck eventually came up the street towards me and narrowly missed the mouse, but the slipstream was enough to blow it upwards and make it roll and twist. The illusion of life was broken and the mouse became a bag again.

Why I Love Mormonism – Simon Critchley
[…] “ ‘As man now is, God once was. As God now is, man may be.’ ”
“So, dear Simon,” my new friend concluded, “we, too, can become Gods, American Gods, no less.” He chuckled. I was astonished.

A masterpiece of modern satire from the Onion, they’ve really outdone themselves this time.

Philosophy Now: Moral Enhancement
We are at the early stages of such research, but there are few cogent philosophical or moral objections to the use of specifically biomedical moral enhancement – or moral bioenhancement. In fact, the risks we face are so serious that it is imperative we explore every possibility of developing moral bioenhancement technologies – not to replace traditional moral education, but to complement it. We simply can’t afford to miss opportunities. We have provided ourselves with the tools to end worthwhile life on Earth forever. Nuclear war, with the weapons already in existence today could achieve this alone. If we must possess such a formidable power, it should be entrusted only to those who are both morally enlightened and adequately informed.

Open Letter from a Millennial: Quit Telling Us We’re Not Special
There is a generation in [a country very close to Canada] that believes in its own specialness. I will agree with that. But you’ve got its identity wrong.
