Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Jilli, so sorry to hear the news. My thoughts are with you and your family.

PSA: do NOT watch the first 6 minutes of Bones while eating. In fact, you might just avert your eyes altogether.

Because books.

it doesn't get much more thoughtful than that

Not the top of Arthur, though, huh? Hmph.

A spinny Inception top! That's awesome.

What the hell are they putting in the water down there? (And where can I get some?)

Right? That In Style piece was YUMMY.

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

I hadn't realized he's also from Texas

You have to hear him talking in his native accent (no, I'm not actually useful...let me see if I can find....here, 2:58 in, briefly). And he sings.

I have one almost finished application. I had to go do stuff and it timed out. I'm going to bed now, so I will finish it in the morning. One of the others I need to write a cover letter for. The third one, well, I actually think it is a no go.
