“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning broccoli boiling

It is the same old complaint yet again today – the weekend really just was not anywhere close to long enough, and here we are on a Monday. Actually, now we are even more justified in making those complaints, because Daylight Savings Time, that pointless German abomination that most of the Western world STILL follows, for some idiotic and asinine reason, is ending, or has ended, and that means it might be dark in your part of the world by like 4pm.

So it is not an illusion. The weekends really are getting shorter.

Fortunately, we can divert ourselves with yet another Great Mondaydact Browser Killer.

We start today with a lecture from an actual really-for-real biologist on why eating your vegetables is NOT necessarily good for you:

All I can say is that, nowadays, I barely touch vegetables when I cook for myself (which is anywhere between 80% and 100% of the time in any given week). I really only eat fruit for roughage. Most of the stuff I eat, is meat and eggs and more meat and more eggs, plus more nuts than a pack of rabid squirrels.

And I feel great.
