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

It must be fun to live in Tim Burton's brain....

Mothera (a play on the name of Godzilla's nemesis, Mothra) perfectly captures this tension: a caricature of the archetypal housewife, rendered as a screeching demon slug. Her many tails connect her to her brood of gleeful tots; tentacles sprout brooms, TVs, vacuum cleaners, and other domestic paraphernalia; hair curlers double as missile launchers.

This is kind of hilarious: [link] And just goes to show, we still can't cope with winter weather in this neck of the woods. Even if you are an arctic explorer, you are at our mercy.

A bunch of cool photos of an old New Years Eve celebration: Miniseries #13: Celebrants

eta: One comment:

Rather a disturbing image in number 8 where, apparently, a young Marine NCO has wrestled an unruly woman to the floor only to have her attempt to lift his wallet. Ah, the Marines! Always looking out for our welfare.

Ann, that's a ferret.

There was ice in Western Fairfax this morning. More slushy on the streets, but it took me several minutes to get the ice off the windshield.

And yet traffic was so light, I still made it to work on time.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hi Moonlit! Good to see your pixels.

Dude, that NYT feature got the Brokeback quote wrong. Dur.

Corgi vid very cute. I still find them adorable, despite our family's 12-year adventure with a very cranky specimen.

I just heard the word "counter-radicalization" on the BBC. I've never heard it before and I can't imagine what it might entail. Reverse brain washing?

Today has been a DAY and it isn't even 10:00 yet. I finished all but two college recs. One is written, but I'm not sure how to get it to the student who didn't give me the address of where to send it and the other is for a former student in her application to a special program at her university and requires more thought.

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

That NYT feature does make me want to watch Brokeback Mountain again.

And movies by mail are not a fad. They are a way of life. Well, until superseded by streaming rentals, anyway.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Is radicalization considered brainwashing?
