The arch nemesis of the Super-Ego!
Emmett's been teasing Matilda all year that "When you turn five you get a Super-Ego for your birthday."
As she just had her fifth birthday, they've been discussing the particulars of the super-ego a lot lately.
We had a substitute teacher this morning, and all the kids looked mildly anxious, except for the one who absolutely freaked the fuck out and clung to his mom like she was sending him down the storm drain to Pennywise the Clown.

What if he was the only one who had it right?
... OH.
>[link]As Sparky said, Derrick Bell. And while I respect everything Steve Jobs has done in terms of bringing easy-to-use (and pretty!) technology to the masses, I do rather wish that his death didn't completely overwhelm those of Bell and Fred Shuttlesworth, who was a civil rights leader.
In a better world, Bell and Shuttlesworth would be known more widely than Jobs. In many ways, they changed American life more than Apple did, at a more fundamental level.
"When you turn five you get a Super-Ego for your birthday."
Is there a Super Ego action figure? There should be.

It definitely hasn't overshadowed Shuttlesworth's death here, for obvious reasons. The work Shuttlesworth did was staggering. He was an amazing man.

Or perhaps... Super-Ego's secret identity? I've met so many people who are punished not by an out-of-control id but by a cruel and exacting super ego.
Um, tho' not in the case of said FB person.
Sail! Happy birthday!
We've had a lot of coverage of Fred Shuttlesworth here, but I assume we have a lot more coverage of the civil rights movement in general.
I'm on a conference call and someone just announced he's sitting in the parking lot of the ExLax factory.
In conclusion, we are all twelve.
Oh, dear, Scrappy. I think that Steve Jobs' misstep in this whole thing was evidently using math in any form or function.
