Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will keep them in mind, brenda, thanks. I think my next two attempts will be this apparently liberal Lutheran church in my neighborhood, and Judson, which is so much like the church I grew up in it is laughable, although last time I checked, they also had the stuff that made me insane about the church I grew up in. But they have a new minister since I was there last, so who knows.

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

Another freaky uncanny valley four legged robot video: [link]

Seriously, this robot is awesome, but very freaky to watch.

Site seems a bit slow at the moment....

eta: If you can wait for it - the scene where it walks on ice and repeatedly almost falls and then recovers is absolutely amazing. It slipped so bad it fell on its knees twice, but still got back up.

eta²: OMG, the fucking thing can gallop. OK, I guess it's more of a prance....

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Can I tell you how much I'm not fond of this grading system where 93 is a B and 86 is a C?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

93 is a B and 86 is a C?

???? How is that even possible?

But it's a minor fib, on the order of, say, handing a cashier an expired coupon.

But, handing a cashier an expired coupon, if they don't catch it, causes their drawer to be short, and then they get into trouble! I don't think that is very nice....

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I absolutely disagree with huge stretches of the doctrine, but the most at home I've ever felt in a church service was attending Easter Mass with some friends in South Carolina.

Please do! Is it one of those strict bell curve situations? I remember friends in college freaking out about easy tests in curve-graded classes, because they knew one wrong answer would get them a B.

That is exciting, Aimee!!

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

The elevator just told me that Native Americans used to put popcorn in soup and beer. That sounds quite tasty. I'm almost hungry.

My morning routine now has a Red Bull in it--it's cold and sharp and sour and refreshing. And not at all healthy, I'm thinking. But I do need something there when my appetite is blah.

I put popcorn in soup sometimes!
