ION, it's Stephen King's birthday, and Misery is on Ovation tonight. One of my favorites, both book and movie. Just FYI, for fans.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

I have been deemed the drunken New Mexican mayor of Elkader on FB. But we were all pretty far gone at that point. I'm not even sure how NM came up.
And...yeah. After posting about the shooting on fb, a childhood ex-best friend suggested I move back home. I was kinda ...affronted on behalf of my dang town. For one, I fricking love this city. For another, it's all about context-I'm honestly at low risk for the crime scene here. And finally, moving back to my hometown smells of a slow rotten death to me. I love the place, but it ain't me. To go back there would be..awful for me.

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a last-ditch appeal from Georgia death row inmate Troy Davis, allowing the state to proceed with the scheduled execution Wednesday evening of the convicted killer.
So.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I need to find a way to express to my 16 year old niece that her FB is a detriment to her getting into a good college, as every other post is about smoking blunts, fucking, and her unsaid aspiration to win a snooki look-alike contest. Here's the thing: She's actually quite bright, and scores all As in her AP classes. She has a good shot at her first choice, Boston College on grades alone. Her internet presence is classless and stupid.

I'm very sorry about your cat, Epic.
My twitter feed is ablaze with SCOTUS news. It all seems too horrible.

I have bluntly schooled some of my 16 year old mentee's friends on the topic. Hell, I've schooled her. Bottom effective line is to be blunt honest, tell them while YOU might be ok with it, this is their image they are sculpting, and the viewers are old fogeys who will fucking judge them harshly. Their social life does them no favors. Plus, you don't want to share your personal life with potential employers, that gives them control . Control your image.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the SCOTUS decision is depressing. I kind of expected it because it seems like the people of Georgia really want to kill Troy Davis. When you have that much against you, it can be difficult to survive.
