Friday morning roundup

Another, localized cruel irony of Haiyan: the typhoon crippled a renewable energy success story. But only temporarily.

This is grosser than gross, but is it that much grosser than other cheese?

That McDonald's across the street is a damper on quality of life.

Norway's military has the right dietary idea.

The GoldieBlox ad is awesome,

But let's continue to be wary of ads with pretenses of subversiveness.

Do respond to misogyny with humor and to crude proposals with cute animal photos.

Many good points here--the HuffPo set respondents up for failure, and the better point is that everyone likes different things--but it remains true that many dudes think women dress for them.

Even people with super-memories are prone to spectacular memory mistakes.

"Because" occupies more roles--more parts of speech--because internet. (Look! Japan has a beautiful new island because volcanos).

What kind of writer's block do you have? Either way, there's a way out.

This kind of thing--not to mention the last DC rent survey--makes me feel better about how much money I spent on my house this year.
