Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh! And they have a radiant heat panel that hangs under the desk!

Dollars to donuts they're prohibited here, though.

Tossers.

I love this headline from the IMDB industry news page:

Fantasia Claims '20/20' Contrived Story Oo Her "Illiteracy"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Dollars to donuts they're prohibited here, though.

That's my problem. About once a year they get all cranky and go collecting illegal devices. Except they tell us first. So everyone hides the toasters and the unapproved heaters overnight and hauls them back out in the morning.

Which is why I'm thinking heating pad. Cheaper if I get caught!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

They just TAKE them?? No, "Take it home."??

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

Oooh, heated footrest!

Want.

Well, since they tell us first, we've got fair warning... It makes the policy unenforced, but saves them from having to do any work.

Art Crawl!!!

Fantasia Claims '20/20' Contrived Story Oo Her "Illiteracy"

Yeah, that headline is fun-nee, but this headline:

Shatner Passes Kidney Stone

made me think, "this is news?"

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

Thanks so much for thinking of me, JZ, that was so heartmelty of you. Backsent.

Someone just made the fantastic suggestion that I submit Save Firefly to This American Life. Ira Glass is a Whedon fan.

Ira Glass was here to give a presentation a couple of weeks ago. It was basically a lecture about persuasion and story-telling and the media. He said that unsolicited stories still are an important source for them, and he encouraged people to send them in.

I can confirm that he is a Whedon fan. At one point he was trying to explain how he felt at a particular time in his career and said “I felt like I was Season 3 Buffy.”
