Metric Jenn

GREETINGS, MY MINIONS. It is mid-week, and I'm already plotting ways to get out of work that involves arson and me not being caught. I know most of you are dreaming of the same things, which is why you come here, and why I love you.

This shameless excuse for photos of shirtless men is not what "mandate" means, but I'll allow it.  (Buzzfeed)

This might give you a laugh.  CNN had their very own "Dewey Beats Truman" moment yesterday.  Less surprisingly, so did Fox News. (ABL)

In case you're out there looking for a new job, here's a quick study on How To Be a Dictator.  (The Economist)

If your evening's free tonight (or tomorrow night), take a few moments to stand outside and observe the Quandrantids meteor shower.  I don't know if there's anything on TV tonight, but if there is, I doubt it will be better than this.  (spacedex)

This was posted yesterday, but it would do all of us well to read it and take it to heart.  So many of us suffer from depression, and suffer in silence, and it's both refreshing and reassuring to know that we are not alone.  (The Bloggess)
