Jon Stewart reading from crib notes on the Da Vinci Code on TDS tonight? Adorable!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Interrupting the JS love to say I'M AN AUNT. Little Io Elizabeth joined us at 8:56PM. Mummy and baby are doing fine, and she's beyoootiful. Maybe she can marry Allyson's nephew.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh! Congrats on Auntiehood! My advice is to spoil her ROTTEN. Yep. It is your sole purpose. Auntie buy.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hivemind (or maybe just ita):
I need to render a man unconscious, preferably in such a way that he'll be out cold for a few hours. Scenario is as follows:
R attacks A with intent to rape. A fights back as best she can, though she doesn't have the fighting skills to make up for her lesser size and strength. And I'm toying with upping the stakes by having R pull a dagger on A, but I'm afraid that might lessen the options open to our rescuer, J.
J is the one who gets the privilege of rendering R unconscious. J is unarmed, though R is distracted enough struggling with A that it's possible that J could take R's pistol and knock him on the head with it. Only it strikes me that'd be a stupid thing to do, because if J could secure the pistol, all he'd have to do to make R back off is point it at him. So J is going to have to do this barehanded. Unless of course he used a convenient found object like a rock or a piece of firewood. That could work. Assume J knows what to do with his fists, but doesn't have any special martial arts skills that'd be eye-rollingly unbelievable for an Englishman born circa 1784. How does he need to hit R to knock him out? What part of the head does the blow need to strike, could a well-thrown punch do it or would it need to be the rock/brick/log, etc.?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Temple with a fist could do it, but I'd go with a stick to the temple. Too hard, it could kill him, yeah, but people's heads are hard for a reason, and fist to the head is not all that reliable for unconsciousness-making.
Where is this scene taking place? Could there be a handy andiron or objet d'art?
