Flea, with the substantive zing of the year.

Davids:Â Looks like Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer have split up and she's already leaking messy drama.
Scola:Â Apparently, she posted on her Patreon that they were broken up before she told Neil himself.
Flea:Â I mean, he could have subscribed for early access.
In Natter:
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.
Cashmere, in Natter:
EAT A SCONE, LIMEY!
Jesse, in Natter:
And Scrabble is practically as bad as making out!
note: aurelia made me COMM it.

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.
NoiseDesign in Natter:
Toddlers and college students, the two populations most likely to have their tongues in places they probably should not.
Sophia, in Natter:
I know I am beating a dead horse and preaching to the choir, but the anger of some people scares me.
(Not a funny post, at all, but the visual is priceless)
