Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

A state lawmaker, worried about a recent string of deadly school shootings, suggested arming teachers, principals and other school personnel as a safety measure and a deterrent.

I saw the trailer for this one! The Substitute with Tom Berenger.

Because books.

Do you have to use Track Changes, Allyson? Can't you submit a new document with the changes made (or not), as sarameg suggested?

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

Please tell me they aren't letting the gym teachers carry guns.

Because a whackaloon who's already written and sent off his suicide note is going to slow down because somebody somewhere in the building already has a gun. It just means he packs more ammo and clears his path.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I do love Track Changes. But I begin to hate it when other people publish documents with the changes unaccepted.

This is me.

Allyson, if you want to make the changes you want to make and ignore the ones you don't, I'll be happy to clean it up after you - if you want.

(Good lord - I have no English skillz. What I'm saying is that I can go in and clean up once you're done editing.)

Coding and Sleeping

A Houston parent wants to ban the book Fahrenheit 451, even though he admits he never read it.

Now that is just hilarious. Something worthy of a Daily Show segment.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I do like track changes, though earlier this week I had to use it to demonstrate the result of multiple rounds of accepted changes on the original document.

Art Crawl!!!

Right? It's not like Avada Kedavra actually works, y'know.

Well, you have to really mean it to get any of the unforgivables to work

If we only had a decent WAND shop in town -- then you'd see something.

Track Changes confuses the hell out of me and I want to cry

Track Changes lives to make people upset, and I say this as someone who uses Track Changes every day at work.

Wands with big sparkly stars on the top don't seem to work with any of the Unforgivables. Not that I've tried or anything ...

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Scepters don't work, either.
