The US Open will use instant replay to help with line calls:
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I didn't know it, so thanks, Tom.

Something to make you go "WTF?" from today's Think Progress:
I was reading the latest installment of the Jill Carroll story, and there was a link to this piece : [link]

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
Someone should email me a secret. I don't get good emails anymore.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
When you're all done emailing Allyson, will you email me a happy thought?

If being rich doesn't allow me to have two cars, well, darn it, I'm going to stop trying.
If it was Jimmy Buffet's car, I might try to advocate for it.

How have you missed it?
Everytime somebody's disputed a call, the announcers have all been -- s/he's disputed x-number of calls this tournament. And if they haven't disputed any and the announcers think that they should have -- they remark on that too.
Plus, I believe they mentioned 40-katrillion times during Wimbledon. (Maybe that was just John McEnroe. 'Cause I believe he may have an issue.)

I feel like I've been whacked with the slow-stick today. Cognition just isn't working for me. I have 2.5 hours of meeting coming up, and I'm operating in a serious daze.

How have you missed it?
Don't know, but I did, so I'm grateful for the heads up. It's no big deal.
