truepenny1. There's a new Submachine game: Submachine 7: The Core.
2. This is a lovely video of Zenyatta enjoying her retirement.
3. While I'm offering videos, the big cats at Big Cat Rescue really enjoy their Christmas presents.
4. There's a new octopus for the Octocam. Ursula is smaller than Deriq was, but she is every bit as fabulous.
5. I am not going to link to the story on the Republican state legislator here in Wisconsin who's trying to repeal the (new) state law aimed at abolishing "Indian mascots and other race-based team names and logos in Wisconsin public schools," nor to the story on the man in Toronto who pressured a twelve-year-old girl off his son's co-ed PeeWee hockey team, because impotent anger is bad for my blood pressure.* Instead, have some pictures of the lunar eclipse: here (wikipedia), here (National Geographic), and, oddly enough, here (DC Clubbing).

*This would be the rhetorical trick called praeteritio. The internet makes it particularly transparent.
