Got this in my inbox:

Gun Machine
Also, the serial killer is much more fascinating than your usual sex-crazed serial killer2: he is hallucinating being a Manhattan Native American, complete with visual and auditory images of pre-colonial Manhattan obscuring his vision of the here-and-now.
Interesting stuff.
Amazon carries this audiobook in two versions, and sfpl.org has it as well.

1That’s what makes this science fiction-fantasy in my mind. The police union would never, ever permit this.
2He would have to be; that is so twentieth-century.

I want one of these for the ravages of winter, a Ski Mask
This mask is intended to fit over a head that is still human. Most of those who have spent time as members of the nameless cults of the Elder Things, and have not died in one of the many ritual sacrifices or served to feed their abominable masters, will over the countless eons their dark lords deign to extend their tortures, take on forms indescribably ghastly to behold. Until then, you can fit in with one of these ski masks.

YouTube comments are almost always unmoderated and quickly devolve into misogyny, misanthropy and bad spelling. Fortunately, this interpretation of said comments makes these comment at least entertaining..but alas, still insipid.
Mom, you can skip this. Really.

While recuperating from a hand injury (nothing to worry about, but no heavy lifting) I completed a programming project and started the horrible job of cleaning my desktop of extra files. Here are some that I was saving but can’t remember why :
Well, I guess that one’s obvious.

On the left, clouds on a hot, Jupiter-like world dubbed Kepler 7b, which resides nearly 1000 light years away from Earth. That’s three years worth of infrared and visual observations from NASA’s Spitzer and Kepler space telescopes. Nice imaging, fellas (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MIT et. al.).

Oh sure, they look alike; one is AC (top) the other DC. One of the species, Brachyhypopomus bennetti, has a large electric organ and a short fat tail and produces direct current, or a monophasic, signal; the other, Brachyhypopomus walteri, has a more typical electric organ, a long thin tail and an alternating current, or biphasic signal.
