Tuesday evening roundup

How the pink ribbon cult ran away with its cause.

Go ahead and be energy-efficient; it won't be lost in rebound effects.

This very good article about dementia evoked very mixed feelings, especially the part about how the worst stage is the one where one is sort-of aware of the decline. Things apparently get better when that awareness fades. It reminded me of that line in "33 Variations," where Katherine complains that because her brain remains at full capacity, she gets a first-row "view" of what's going on with her body. 

On a lighter note... I love these Tumblrs for foreign policy nerds, especially this one. I also love Zoolander references where you least expect them.

The real issue with breadwinner syndrome

Kids are dangerous.

Animals are cute.
