friends from Edinburgh coming tomorrow

i got tickets to see Ricky Gervais in january. it's a 'work in progress' thing so cheap tickets, too. quite exciting, ive been following him for a while now.

being ecological and recycling and all that stuff is everywhere now. even our building got a recycling bin, so now we dutifully try put cardboard, glass & plastic in there. if i ever feel bad for forgetting my canvas shopping bag home though and having to buy a plastic one, or buying veggies in plastic packaging, i can just remind myself that i am doing the biggest environmentally act of all: not having kids. buying 2nd hand clothes is a plus too, but it pales in comparison to not procreating. so, ive done my share, cheers.

i saw some kind of ranking for countries based on their environmental or ecological policies or something. Uk was higher was finland. hard to believe, but i guess there are so many factors. because all i really know is that finns recycle religiously. but i guess it's not quite enough. at the same time im not sure what are the "amazing" things that give UK its relatively high (i think top 10) position on the chart. and to be honest while china and US are doing what they are doing, im not sue if it matters. im really cynical today.

its so sad no ones even surprised anymore when the president of the united states says crazy stuff that makes zero sense or has zero truth value. speaking of US presidents, while i am not a huge fan of the new season of House of Cards, seeing a childfree female president is of course heartwarming. any type of female president would be great, but we dont have enough childfree examples around. i want more tv with childfree people (who are not in their 20s).

Popular Science: women are less likely to receive CPR - why?
NY Times: Stormy Daniels- Feminist Hero

this podcast is nice: Darknet Diaries. also available on spotify. interesting internet related stories, like gaming the new york times bestseller list. yet it's very understandable if you understand the basics of tech. extra interesting if you understand more, i think.

NY Times: EU doctors leaving due to brexit. well we know this of course but here are the latest numbers.
