Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Just talked my masters-in-physics, tech-writer father through how to identify the Windows Protection Suite as BAD and how to find free anti-spy/malware and INSTALL it. The first ten minutes were me repeating "it's bad, don't clicky." "did you close it yet? cuz it's bad." "fine, click it and watch it tell you to purchase a software to remove the "problems"."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Usain Bolt just ran a 9.58s 100m. His previous record was 9.71.
Attaboy!
Though the Jamaican paper says his previous record was 9.69.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Brilliant thing about the 100m--it's short enough that the full race fits into the day 2 highlight video linked to here. Brought tears to my eyes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh!
I'm watching a thing on 60 Minutes about Coldplay, and I'm as usual surprised about how cute and regular Chris Martin always seems. He just said he doesn't like being called a rock star becuase he wears the wrong pants. Cute.

I kinda think that too, but then he married Gweneth and I can match those things up.

Argh. The company where I got my TENS unit says that they submitted a claim to my insurance company, who denied it, and thus they sent me a bill for the full cost. I logged onto my account on the insurance company website, which doesn't have any record of ever receiving that claim.
