Caught this today:
A lay preacher who bought himself a lordship has been jailed for 10 years for a £51 million VAT scam and stealing from personal injury claimants.
His name was not Preston, but in fact Malcolm.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

What is even happening?
Allyson has neither magic nor semantics in her heart. It makes me sad.Poor Strega. I'll play semantics.
You're using the word "fandom" in ways that confuse me again. How is a connection through fandom distinct from a connection through entertainment?

Harrumph.
Mostly I was trying to figure out how (or if) Glark was a fandom connection.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I thought Glark was connected to TwoP in some way. I could be making that up.

Maybe Glark is a fandom connection (rather than an entertainment connection), because Allyson (presumably) has become acquainted with him through her actions as a fan, and...
Fandom isn't entertainment (except when it is).
(And even then...)
Ah screw it, the whole thing falls apart, doesn't it?
eta...
Jon, Glark is one of the TWoP Heads of Programming (like Sars, Wing, etc.; he's married to Wing).

Hee. See, there's the fun!

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
I'm sorry, my head is exploding.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, fuck.
There's little more to say about Wednesday's talks other than that, unfortunately. "This is not heading in the right direction," a mogul quoted his labor exec as saying to him yesterday. Another source told me, "It's stalemated. Nothing's getting achieved."

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Let's remember that it is mostly rumor. I hear rumors too and they are different. People talking in the halls doesn't mean much.
