I’ve watched Colony several times now. The synopsis as given by the filmmakers says “Colony documents a time of unprecedented crisis in the world of the honeybee through the eyes of both veteran beekeeper, David Mendes, and Lance and Victor Seppi, two young brothers getting into beekeeping when most are getting out.

Working away at the ranch: taking down Mount Mulch a wheelbarrow at a time. Hauling hoses out to the trees to water them since we’ve had no rain at all. Spraying fish gut solution on the garlic and making the entire front garden smell like a fish processing factory. Pulling weeds. Shoveling soil from where . . . → Read More: Workaday The Susan G Komen Foundaton continues its Hindenburg-esque disaster campaign. Today, they’ve issued this press release. I’ve inserted some translations. “We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.” Translation: We’re sorry we didn’t realize that the vast majority of people . . . → Read More: More lessons in how not to do things I posted previously about the asinine decision by the Susan G Komen (SGK) foundation to drop grants for Planned Parenthood.

There is simply no other word for it. My letter to the Susan G Komen Foundation. “I am disgusted by your craven act of defunding Planned Parenthood under the guise of the organization being “under investigation” when it is clear you have caved in to those who think womens’ bodies should be under the . . . → Read More: Not another dime I’m not a huge fan of overly-litigious people or corporations. That’s why I was quite happy to see this suit last year from a wide group against Monsanto. Monsanto, of course, has “security” people that roam around, getting in the faces of farmers when they suspect their GMO crap has “been utilized” by those farmers, . . . → Read More: Worthy lawsuits Looking forward to the (short) series Doomsday Preppers coming up on National Geographic. They had a standalone episode last year, with one guy repeating the same long phrase about coronal ejections over and over – but he and his wife did build a tilapia tank out of their pool and used that waste to fertilize . . . → Read More: Random things From time to time, you just have to have some help in the office. This is especially important when doing something as essential as setting up new servers. When that happens, I know just who to call on for assistance. |
