Kat, BTW, I'm out of town 8/5-8/8, damnit.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Safety vibes for your brother, grommit.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
the fog of news
Good phrase. As an inveterate clicker, I surfed from one network to the next, to CNN, only to see the exact same interview clip on each station (staggered in time, enough to be irritating). The bizarre thing was that at 7am my time, the bombings were 3 hours old, and the aftermath footage was still unbelieveably vague and far-off. If you have that little, just give half-hour updates and go with your regular programming, you know?

They can't, because this is the Big Story, so they have to be talking about it, even if they have nothing to say.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They do that in Israel too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm glad to hear Jamaica is not too worried about Dennis
Just because my family's not worried ... well, my mother flew back to Jamaica early so she could be home for the last hurricane. They're kinda weird that way. But it does sound like there's nothing to worry too deeply about. We have a solid concrete house, and the big trees have been trimmed long time.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Normally, okay. I'm right on board there if it were, say, the shark attack frenzy. (Ooh - shark week coming up.) But I can't say I mind in a case like this. Some stories are That Big.

Yay! I'll have to pick up my Happy Shark Week cards - I already have a shark pen to fill them out with.
ION: ita, I like your tagline. Yay '80s pop!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This.
