Look what has appeared down the street from my office: one of those it-doesn’t-matter-how-much-rent-we’re-paying-for-this-space-because-the-whole-damn-space-is-really-an-advertisement-designed-to-rebuild-a-flagging-brand “product experience” restaurant/gift shop things.

I finished up reading The Year’s Best Science… Continue Reading
