You really don't need new variations, ita.
Seriously, she really doesn't. Continued head-ma, though it doesn't seem to be making it to LA from here.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

...okay, laundry is go. And Nora, I'm living in College Park, which is DC-adjacent.
Also. Has Baltimore gotten notably hazardous lately, or are we just telling everyone no to get shot, wherever they go? (and, yes, Homicide ref, but I kind of like the idea of having conversations that go "I'm going to the grocery store." "Okay. Pick me up some green beans, and try not to get shot.")

Nah, it's no worse than usual. I've seen some handwringing about OMG! so many shootings! Spiralling out of control ! this past week, but duh, that happens every summer when there is a heatwave.

Dear diva scientists-
I've got at least 40 lbs, 3 inches and solid pair of 3.5 inch heels on you. You are a clot walking four abreast in a heavily trafficked hallway and you think I'm going to step off and wait for you to pass? Think again, assholes.

Punishingly Intricate
There was a scary home invasion/street robbery/car jacking spree here recently by one armed guy (who has been caught). He was making people go to their ATMs and give him cash and he was vacillating between being kind of polite (for a robber) and being pretty aggressive and angry. The weirdest thing about it was that he was performing these crimes during the middle of heavy rainstorms. That just isn't done!

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

For a minute I was thinking that Allyson and sarameg should collaborate on a "Devil wears Prada" style book about working with scientists, but then I remembered that scientists are really, really boring.
