Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism.
Nor does it require one to have a radio show. If no one wants to pay him to have a radio show, he's free to hold up signs at funerals and such, like the Phelps family does.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
YOU GUYS, I can't wait for The Poisoner's Handbook to be turned into a tv show
OMG OMG OMG!!! I love this book so much!!
Prohibition basically created so many new ways to die from alcohol abuse that NYC had to create a medical forensics branch of the police department in order to determine if alcohol-related deaths were: plain old alcohol poisoning, wood alcohol poisoning, murder made to LOOK like wood alcohol poisoning, etc etc etc.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My great grandfather was he and his brother's tax attorney-- I guess there's a lot of Capone stories!

Our wings are not tired.
Haha, Jessica!
My shoulder surgery is tomorrow and the nerves have set in already. Doesn't help that it has felt fine the last couple of days. Then again, I've been trying to avoid certain movements that I know are hurty. Butterflies in the tummy.
I think this got lost in the hailstorm of Rush's stupidity, Suzi. I know you're nervous. You will feel SO much better by this time next week. I wish I could be at the hospital with you and pick you up, but I know your kids and network out there will have you covered. Enjoy the Good Drugs! And remember no matter how good yo're feeling the first day (because of the anesthesia and Good Drugs), do NOT try to take care of yourself. Allow others to wait on you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It'll be on American Experience on PBS next Spring. But don't tell anyone I told you?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Suzi, it will be okay! You will kick that surgery's butt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In unadulterated good news, Tom Scola has reported elsewhere that Ben Browder will be on Doctor Who.
I have spent all morning running around communicating things. I'm not sure how this will go down on my time sheet. There were a lot of things.
Now I have to go to lunch with a vendor guy who thinks I'm an in to a lot of things I can't get him into. So it will be a lunch of smiling and bluffing and trying to get information from him instead, at which point he pays the bill.

Much surgery~ma, Suzi!
I have no family Prohibition stories. That I know of. Both of my grandfathers were traveling salesmen at some point during the 30s, but there's nothing in the family lore about them running anything more interesting than coffee. (Pro tip: if you want to survive a Great Depression with ease, sell coffee to Swedish and Finnish immigrant communities. Granddad saved enough to buy the family homestead from his father-in-law.)
