2030 to 2050.
As the world’s population grows, competition for food, water and energy will increase. Food prices will rise, more people will go hungry, and migrants will flee the worst-affected regions.

Know Your Rights « Directionless Bones
That is, when someone kills me, they don’t violate my right to life, they violate me. When they cut off my arm or lock me in a cage, they don’t violate a different right, they violate me in a different way. So there’s no such question as ‘how many rights do people have?’, just ‘how [...]

Unlucky the class of 2009, where tens of thousands may miss chances they thought promised after years of aspiration-raising by teachers [...]

I can sit with the laptop and router within a couple of feet and I get dialup speed. It’s a known issue with this model. Desired: I really don’t [...]
Books I need to finish

Kitchen Confidential … that elegant three-star concoction is the collaborative effort of a team of “wacked-out moral degenerates, dope fiends, refugees, a thuggish assortment of drunks, sneak thieves, sluts and psychopaths,” Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Powerful Mercenary Army … [...]

So I said there were no worries…. Everything was normal yesterday morning. Nothing at all unusual. At some point mid-late morning (I forget the time. It’s in irc logs but it doesn’t matter) I had just chatted with Hanni on skype and gone afk from irc as I felt odd. Literally a few moments later [...]
