Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ginger--Just shows that people are happy to think France is arrogant and selfish as a nation without needing any actual proof.

There was a local news story this morning about finding radiation from Japan in some water, but not enough to matter, and not in the drinking water reservoirs.
I heard the same thing here, with a promo saying "Concern rises as radiation spreads farther than expected." Detectable isotopes are expected to spread over most of the world. Tiny, tiny amounts, but detectable. It's like Jayne's "Ten percent of nothing is — let me do the math here. Nothing into nothin'. Carry the nothin'..."

not your mom's socks.
Ginger, you would be horrified to learn that my local listserv is freaking out because they just learned that Walter Reed had a (medical) nuclear reactor on site (decommissioned in 1972), and you know we cannot trust the gov't to tell us the truth about these things, and no one is thinking of the children.
Sparky, you have an uncle who would be pleased to speak to these people and ease their concerns about ... ok he'd be pleased to be all superior. Plus he needs a hobby.

Yeah, it just feels to me like, how you say? Not news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How much do I love that Ginger can not only keep us informed about the radiation (non-)threat, but use Firefly quotes to do it?
SO VERY MUCH!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We're "at time," people. Please end the meeting. I have another one.

Did you tell them you have a hard stop??

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

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I have/had a guy on my friend list (I will probably delete him now) who seems to have read that WSJ Gandhi book review because this is his status.
Reading about Gandhi and what a dick! Racist, hate-monger who thought he was above others. I wish he was still alive so I could punch him in the mouth.
I was going to ignore it, but I don't think I can. When we went to Gandhi's house in Mumbai it was...I don't know, transformative. It feels really cliche saying that, but just the excerpts posted on the walls in hindi and english got me choked up, and then seeing his room with the simple bed, loom and sandals was incredible.
I had to call the dude an asshole, and be done.
