You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

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

Intermittent failures due to denial-of-service attacks, apparently.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I got the same thing @ 8:36. Copied it down, 'cuz it's fucking funny, and then hit back and tried to read new again. No problem.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Weird spacing in the Angel thread, starting here:

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

s/b fixed. There was a missing t /blockquote

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Is there some quickedit we don't know about involving typographical em dashes? I thought it might have been my

beginning of the line, but then I tried a second time with

<blockquote><tt>—

and it still fucked me up. Albeit differently. As mentioned in the post.

But I HAD that blockquote! It ate it. I swear.

How about an em-dash quick edit so that
m text here

would insert — text here?

ita wouldn't like it. it would force spaces, wouldn't it?

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti

Now I want a quick-edit em-dash. Though it would insert spaces. Hmm.

Now why is it that quick-edit has to insert spaces? I sometimes use t i or t t just because the quick-edits don't allow me to emphasize things within words like the t in ita. And that can be important! t quite cowed

Quick edit inserts spaces because
hard returns (which end every quick edit) insert a space.

Mostly it's how WX worked, and I'm in no coding space right now to see all the ramifications.
