I'm in one of those strange news vacuums particular to travel or vacation. I basically give one glance at Le Monde headlines one my way past newsstands, swap chitchat with my classmates before class, and have some TV on as background noise when I putter. Every other day or so, I make a tour of BBC (world news), NYTimes (domestic news), and Kottke (geek news). Which leaves me with some really weird reading material. For example:
Baboons spend only about three hours of the day foraging for food; the remaining 21 hours of free time, he [Robert Sapolsky] said, are a kind of behavioral vacuum — not unlike three days in the Hamptons — which baboons pass by annoying and harassing one another to no particular end, creating what scientists call psychosocial stress.
I also present: this in context!
