Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Now, there are about 200 students in front of Paterno's house, rallying to show their support for him and protect him from the media.

Okay, that's revolting. I'm sorry: he was told directly in 2002 that his employee was found raping a ten-year-old boy in the locker room. And he did nothing.

I just looked up where Paterno's house is. I've ridden my bike past there a ton of times without realizing it was his house.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That is absolutely horrifying. What happened, and that no one did anything.

The alma mater includes the line "May no act of ours bring shame." I've been hearing people quoting that all day as a way of saying that Paterno should resign because he didn't live up to that ideal. But the students in front of his house are singing it now. I have no idea what they're trying to say with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"PENN STATE FUCK YEAH" maybe?

I am so sad about Heavy D! Damn.

And a big gold star for Amy! (You just have to imagine it.)

Because books.

I can totally see it!

I had no idea about any of that with Penn State. That's horrifying.

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

I didn't know about the Penn State thing either. That's awful.
