Well, I heard someone say that Brown's win means HCR is dead. But I thought they passed bills? But maybe they needed another vote to harmonize the differences or something.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ugh. Did Brown actually win? That's depressing.
I have no opinion on fic beyond I like some of it in certain fandoms by certain writers... and I wouldn't say I'm an avid fic reader.
I have a PD tomorrow and I'm as ever unprepared.

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

Yes. (Probably.) Although there are various trick they could use to get around the Brown issue....

Because books.
If you write the story about uncopyrighted work does that make it not fic? Or is it intent or actuality of profit?
I ... have no answers for that, because I haven't thought about it. Bueller?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think the theory is, they'd have to vote on the final bill that comes out of conference, and without 60 votes, the Republicans will filibuster it to death -- or even just the threat of that will make Dems fold. Because the Democratic party is sofa king LAME.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
If the Dems are that pitiful, I'll, I don't know what 'll do, but I'll be very angry.

Also, damn technology. Sophia's link led me to Lily Allen singing it as well, so then I went and bought three of her songs, because I don't know why I didn't own any already. But that was totally unecessary spending for no apparent reason.

I've seen fic about the bible and about Alexander Hamilton. I think maybe the :fanfic" distinction is the intent to publish privately rather than through publishing houses? Not necessarily to make a profit.

They've still got a majority right?
I've heard talk that the people in MA who have to certify the vote and allow him to take his seat may drag his heels so the vote goes through before he gets to take his seat.
I got the annual assessment on my house today. The assessed value has gone up $15K or 8.5% in the past year. That's bananas! I've done almost nothing to add value.
