The Walking Dead Rick Grimes poster by Brian Rood
I find it fascinating that, in this, season 6 of The Walking Dead, suddenly Rick Grimes is, literally, stumbling in altercations. It feels like it has to be intentional, usually Andrew Lincoln’s fights are really clean, but both the confrontation with Carter in the pantry from the premiere, (‘First Time Again’,) and the fight in the RV in the third episode, ('Thank You’,) have Rick stumbling.
In the pantry confrontation, after he disarms Carter and turns to face him, it looks like his right ankle twists, and his foot slips under him. Bugged me at the time, cause they usually don’t have mistakes like that? Then in the RV, after he knocks both guys down, and turns to shoot the Wolf in the front, he falls onto the bench on the left side of the RV, pops right back up, and shoots them.
Is it just me, or is that odd?
Rather amazing, really

I always struggle with how much to share of myself and my beliefs on social media. I know that will seem strange to some of you, as I very strongly passionately and fearlessly share my opinions about art and culture, but I try to not share my beliefs unless I know I’m in a friendly audience. I consider this to be cowardly, craven behaviour, and I should expect much more from myself. So, here goes… I… Am an Atheist. I cannot be anything else. I know most of you have heard my story of not sticking around in mum’s church for too long, (the story of me always being the kid in Sunday School waving the latest National Geographic and saying, “that can’t be, because Dr. Leakey said…” are totally true,) but I have always had a deep love of the sciences, and an intense curiosity about the universe that could never be satisfied with the kind of faith that being Religious requires. Now, having said that, I have or have had friends and family of every religious stripe imaginable, from Catholics to Buddhists, from Evangelicals to Wiccan, and I respect and love them all. I respect their right to believe in what they choose, and to practise those beliefs. I have to draw the line in the sand, however, when anyone tries to claim that their beliefs and their right to practise their religion supersede the rights of others to do the same. Which brings us to Kim Davis, and this article which has driven me to express my beliefs as more than liking the occaisional humorous post of others. What Lawrence Krauss says here is very important, and I urge you all to read and consider his words, even if you think you will disagree with them. Within, he states: “Ultimately, when we hesitate to openly question beliefs because we don’t want to risk offense, questioning itself becomes taboo.” I couldn’t agree more, or be more frightened of a possible outcome. Thanks for your time, and I extend love and friendship to you all.
Ultimately, when we hesitate to openly question beliefs because we don’t want to risk offense, questioning itself becomes taboo. It is here that the imperative for scientists to speak out seems to me to be most urgent. As a result of speaking out on issues of science and religion, I have heard from many young people about the shame and ostracism they experience after merely questioning their family’s faith. Sometimes, they find themselves denied rights and privileges because their actions confront the faith of others. Scientists need to be prepared to demonstrate by example that questioning perceived truth, especially “sacred truth,” is an essential part of living in a free country.

Cats really are against their people reading, meditating, all the things that make them less responsive to the cats. Computing is another one. Weird little beasts, lol
