You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Tom!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

I'd heard. Seemingly it's being reported as "an explosive device was found" at the Planned Parenthood.

This happened yesterday about 40 minutes away from me. But they have the suspect in custody. He was captured on security video and he also managed to wreck his easily identifiable SUV a few blocks from the clinic.

It's ASSHOLE week in Wisconsin!!!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Glad to hear our resident Texans are all safe

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It's ASSHOLE week in Wisconsin!!!

At least this one is a completely inept asshole. I mean, for a silver lining it's a little tarnished, but caught on video, made a dud bomb, and wiped out a few blocks away is really an impressive amount of incompetence.

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

Man, yesterday when I was bitching that people didn't read and one of the guys on the email chain pointed out that the information being asked for was right there at the bottom of the email--he asked me today (obliquely) if he'd gone too far. Oh, hell no, friend. I'm so glad you did, because I hate when it's just me saying it, and I report to her, so you know, recalcitrant pushback.

And, I just pre-presented a proposal to my boss and my manager, and...they liked it. Like, were really happy with the angle I took. And my boss had given a long spiel before I started about why he was crabby and the meeting would not go well, and...it did!

I have not had a good week so far. The nerve block is totally worn off, and I have limited range of motion and mad radiating pain, and I really need to put the lidocaine patch on, stat, and I *have* to go into the office tomorrow and Thursday because management is officially displeased with me.

And blah blah convoluted blah. Also...blah.

Always Anti-fascist!

JZ, reminds me of Homicide when Munch and Stan would be all "It's lucky they're stupid,huh?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happiest of birthdays to you, Tom!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, you're awesome, Tom!

ION, Jacqueline was trying to find some soap actress from her youth who had a sassy bob and sleuthed out it was Renee Props on As the World Turns in the late 80s and early 90s.

I almost hesitate to point this out because I know there are soap fans here who might get sucked down the rabbit hole, but I checked to see if Renee Props was on YouTube and somebody has loaded 700 videos from their personal video collection.

So if you wanted to watch As the World Turns from 1989 - here you go.
