You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Jesse: I appreciated the thing going around the internet about how using whatever you currently have in the house for Passover in order to avoid a current plague should be the most kosher thing.

Jessica: Avoiding plague is very much in the spirit of the holiday.

Davids: Looks like Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer have split up and she's already leaking messy drama.

Scola: Apparently, she posted on her Patreon that they were broken up before she told Neil himself.

Flea: I mean, he could have subscribed for early access.

Tom Scola: My hair is currently at 1961 Beatle. I figure in about ten days, it will reach 1962 Beatle.

Trudy Booth: We love you, Tom.

Yeah yeah yeah

Atropa: I recently learned that I pronounce ornery unlike "normal" people, because I say "ore-ner-ree".

Jesse: That's not how normal people say it?

Atropa: According to everyone else who replied to my friend's Twitter thread, it's supposed to be "orn'ree".

DebetEsse: Yeah, it's definitely 2 syllables.

DXMachina: Only if you're Yosemite Sam.

a multibajillion-dollar company can afford a bit of guillotine repellent in the form of not being in a hurry to make people homeless.

COMMed for the delightful phrase "guillotine repellent".

Topic!Cindy in Natter:

My voting plans are as follows:

1) Vote early in-person at town hall for our state primary (for US Senate, not POTUS) on August 22nd (election is September 1)

) Request a mail-in ballot for the general election, and drop it off in person on the first day of in-person early voting

2a) If I don't receive a mail-in ballot, or if something else changes for the worse, I will vote early, in-person.

2b) If something else changes for the worse, my family has instructions to dress up my debilitated body or actual corpse and make me/it vote in person, on election day, Weekend at Bernie's style.

Parenting, Natter-style:

Hec: Matilda is parked in front of her computer for her first class of high school: Ethnic Studies with Ms. Elfland.

She shooed me off when I came back from my run bringing her a hot chocolate and mechanical pencils. Clearly I am not to be on camera. Only a hand that brings cocoa.

Toddson: As long as she doesn't take to saying, "thank you thing."

Atropa: No, that's exactly what she should do.
