I can't take all the credit-- Amych called it before me!
I was suspicious when I posted it. But ultimately too trusting in the competence of ZDNet.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That article is terribly smug. I agree that other news outlets should have done some basic fact-checking before propagating the story, but damned if they don't sound contemptuous of their readers.
Also, I do have thumb muscles. Otherwise bending them would be quite the miracle.

He's going to start making money on the public speaking circuit and writing a book, guaranteed.
Or the next republican candidate will sell his soul to the Death Eaters and hire Rove for his campaign.
Or both.

Theo, Rove's not qualified to be a special prosecutor (He doesn't have a college degree as far as I know. He avoided Vietnam by enrolling part time and then dropping out).
Oh, ye of little faith. "Qualified", she says. Like that has anything to do with anything in this administration.

Huh, when did I lose my hardened, cynical shell for this optimistic, sunny outlook?
Must go looking for my missing cynicism.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
I might have been a jerk on the bus this morning, what with a whole slew of seats being taken up by bags and nobody moving them so I could sit down until I got a little testy. And they were all, "You just had to ask!" So I felt a little guilty, but not that much, because I never make anyone else ask me to move my shit so they can sit down.
I'm a little post-convention cranky.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wait, wait, don't we not have thumb muscles? Or any other finger muscles? I think they're all tendons actually in our hands, controlled by the muscles in our forearms. Right? Am I bullshitting? 'Cause I've been telling my students this for a while.
Mind you, I never read the thumbs article, 'cause freaky.
