I’ve been thinking about how the story I posted here earlier this week doesn’t stand up to mathematical scrutiny. But anyways. Some things I liked recently:

• Fiction Volante: The Separation – Repairmen shake their heads, refuse to enter the front door.

• sevensixfive: Dettifoss – Six days on the Eimskip container ship Dettifoss.

• Apples are the Only Fruit – You explain how they were once flown around the world in half a day, and also explain that every kiwi required more than its own weight in carbon emissions to reach your kitchen. The kids nod; this is a familiar story.

• The Pits | Alana Posts – And the last time another woman touched me as carefully as you touch those olives she didn’t want a girl at all.

• How to Play “The Thing Is…” – There’s some sort of accident at the New York Times that results in the entire upper half of the front page being a really close up picture of your face, accompanied by a huge headline proclaiming “FARTS RULE!”
