I still haven’t caught the first episode of Cosmos (slow your roll, it’s on the digital-video-recorder next to Workaholics, and Pork Pie Fluids Gluttony, okay? I’m getting to it), but apparently there’s a small mention of evolution. This small little spattering of evolution is something that I will see in my eventual watching. However some folks in Oklahoma won’t be able to thanks to an “accidental” promo that ran over it.

Ain’t no damn time to be on time anymore!

Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the third late MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE in a row. Why’s that, you ask? Well, could be because I’m so goddamn busy. Y’know how it is in this modern condition! Papers to file! Dogs to sic on mailmen! Fistfights to have in grocery store dairy aisles!

Things to do!

But even though I’m chronically tardy, I’m still tryin’ to resist! Tryin’ to brace myself against the crashing waves of responsibility. And that’s why I keep comin’ back to the MMC! I need ideas, folks! Suggestions that’ll keep my head up while I suffer the slings and arrows of the outrageous 9-5 life.

Help me find fun things to do!

Russia isn’t fucking around, folks. They’re dead set on establishing their Nuclear-Powered Illuminati hub on the surface of Europa. The Kremlin has recently unveiled the plan through which they shall engage such plans, covering up their obvious covert operations underneath the guise of a pretty, pretty, pretty beefy new space program.

You’re special. Doesn’t that feel good to hear? There is only one you in the whole, wide world. The feeling of being special is an innate function of the human psyche. Of course it comes in a million different shapes and forms, but our primal need to feel special drives much of the world as we know it. Today we are going to examine this phenomenon through my jaded little world-view, and see where it takes us. To be honest, I’m not exactly sure where this is going to go. But this is happening. Now.

Neil deGrasse Tyson isn’t really wielding his advanced wizardry when it comes to this factoid. Or maybe he is. I don’t know. Whatever the case, he did some math and came up with the weight of Thor’s hammer. The answer makes me wonder just how the Hulk ever ate a blow from it without spitting green matter everywhere.

Before Neil deGrasse Tyson was the astronomer du jour, there was the first homeboy Carl Sagan. Cornell University is paying tribute to the original astronomer to penetrate the mind-pieces of the pop culture zeitgeist with a rather radical laser light display.

This won’t get me to buy Action Comics, but it is certainly fucking awesome. I’m loving the hell out of how ubiquitous Neil is becoming in our pop culture. All Neil everything! Into infinity! Just when you were pondering where he would appear next, dude is dropping knowledge bombs on Clark’s silly ass within the world of the Super-Men.

You can’t turn around lately without bumping into  NdGT holding it the fuck down. A myriad of television appearances complimented by a multitude of websites feelin’ his swag. It’s awesome.  Last week NdGT delivered the keynote speech at the  28th National Space Symposium  and it is everything you’d expect from the new Lord of Space. Humor. Inspiration. Wild gesticulations.

Hit the jump to check it out.

Thanks to I Heart Chaos for paying it forward with some more Neil awesomeness. This man, yo.

I’ve heard Neil deGrasse Tyson rail against an inaccuracy in Titanic  several times in my travels. His ability to pick up things like the patterns of the stars in the sky in a movie  is considerably bad ass, and he has leveraged that into several rants on accuracy. I just never expected his rants  to turn into changes.
