Does it at least look like a quick case, or maybe a funny one?
I really don't know at this point. I just hope that they can let me go before deliberation starts.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Feh, Tom. Here's hoping nobody drops out and all you have to sit through is the trial.
ION, Phillip K Dick robot is missing
"We can't find Phil," said Steve Prilliman of Dallas-based Hanson Robotics, which created the futuristic robot with the FedEx Institute of Technology at the University of Memphis, the Automation and Robotics Research Institute at the University of Texas at Arlington and Dick's friend Paul Williams.
"We're very worried because it's been a few weeks now," said Prilliman. "We're pressing hard to find Phil."
The irony of the situation -- a missing replica of the very author who championed "replicant" freedom -- is not lost on Phil's creators.
But they still want him back.
The company officials said they feared ransom demands might be made or Phil could turn up listed for sale on an internet auction house such as eBay.
A spokeswoman, Elaine Hanson, said the company is considering building a new android if the original Phil does not turn up.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We could have had an Upper East par-tay!
I have to confess to liking being on juries.

Note to self: "on juries" != "injuries."
Carry on.

Seems unlikely, honestly.

Watching the speedskater (from G'boro! funny) try not to cry at the medal ceremonies was adorable. At least he didn't mouth the wrong lyrics.

Go on juries! Choose on juries!
