Not exactly. The wishful thinking movement started about 5,000 B.C. And has been on a nonstop rampage ever since.

On the other hand, when this type of wishful thinking and scientific, methodical approach are in conflict, the latter has a ~7,000 year winning streak.

Isn't science predicated on the assumption that everything happens for a reason?

Did science predict the reason for Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper?

Was gin the reason for Mojo, or Mojo the reason for gin?

It's very strange, and sad, to think she's no longer around. I don't know what's down the line, but Britain has gone through some massive shifts in the last several decades, and she's been one of the few constants throughout that.

I'm sad about it. Ive never known any other public figure who has worked with such dignity, grace, and calm. It's a big loss to the UK.

I understand all churches in England and maybe the rest of Britain are opening their doors tomorrow and the bells will ring for an hour at midday. I'm not religious in any sense, but I may go to my local church and sit and reflect for a while, and remember.

As an American, it makes me sad, too. A constant in the world that we knew, no matter how crazy things got, she was always there. I can't imagine what Brits are feeling right now. Condolences from Vegas.

Jean-Luc Godard at 91. As someone said, "There was before Breathless and after Breathless."

Heard on Science Friday last week that Frank Drake died at 96. Best known for his work with SETI and the Drake Equation, attempting to estimate the likelihood of extraterrestrial intelligent life in the universe.

You know Godard did things right, because he was still flummoxing viewers and critics well into the 2000s. RIP. I was in film school when I saw Alphaville for the first time, and my eyes were opened.

I had one student a couple years ago who wrote about Godard's King Lear. I was stunned. So I had to watch it to understand his essay.

I absolutely love his Histoire(s) du cinema.

The first Goddard I saw was Weekend. I had to leave the theater during the opening credits because I was laughing so hard at the traffic jam. I've never seen a Goddard movie that I didn't like--although I only made it through the first ten minutes of what is sometimes referred to as King Lear--so I guess I liked that 10 minutes.

I tried to find the scene where he climbs the stairs shining his shoes on the carpet, but then I found Anna Karina and became distracted.

Ramsey Lewis - RIP

Was not aware till today he died a few days ago.

When I was a kid I took my dad’s 45 of The In Crowd to play at lunch in the cafeteria.

Henry Silva - RIP

I watched The Bravados recently which is probably my favorite Silva role.
