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

He was cute. He thanked me for the penguins. And my mom thanked me about a dozen times for the membership (it comes with four guest passes) saying it was the BEST GIFT EVER! over and over.

It was a really great day.

Seriously, it was 115 for a membership, and that comes with a fossilized shark tooth, four adult passes, two iMax tix, and a discount in the gift shop. It paid for itself in one visit. Highly recommended.

Eta: those pictures are all great, but that last one is really something special

My brother swears that one of the best gifts my parents have given is NM museum membership, because they partner with so many places in Alabama he can take the boys anywhere for under a couple bucks. Which he tries to do every weekend. Discovery centers, air and space, motorcycles...

It's really a good gift you gave, Allyson. To the kids, you parents and the kids' parents.

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

Penguins are quite magic. Cute pics, Allyson.

Thanks for the birthday wishes. I have been having a monster migraine the past few days, and having one on my birthday felt like even more work than normal, so I've been mostly curled up in a ball trying not to think about work. To which I had to go today, so not the best of plans.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It happened with Souter.

I knew there was a recent example! It just wouldn't come to me, since I've paid no attention to the national goverment for years.

I actually think there's a good chance the phenomenon is still live, for the same reasons inexperienced political candidates like Obama and Hillary are the front-runners: less history, less to oppose. Someone you know like Alex Kozinski or Posner will never be nominated.

Yeah, I thought you were talking about Alex Kuczynski, who will really never be nominated....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day here.

Souter is the example I always hear. While I am NPR-following the presidential elections, the last two have depressed me enough to not want to emotionally engage in this one at all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think Nixon didn't get quite what he was expecting out of Burger, either.

I wonder if newer folks were vetted more diligently?
