Bower Birds and Curiosity

Our species needs some remodeling. Yesterday Curiosity landed safely on Mars, a wondrous human achievement. Yesterday I had dinner with artist friends, and I marveled at how art ennobles our lives. Yesterday a racist asshole walked into a house of worship and killed six people for no fucking reason other than that he wanted assistance in committing suicide and he had the arms and ammunition to do it.

Bowerbirds make art; it's nice to begin to think that other species have this impulse.
