Yesterday was clearly Internet Douchebag Day, and we all barely escaped.
Happy America Recycles Day, everyone!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I got about four hours of sleep last night. I got two calls from work — unrelated — both of them were to tell me that there was a problem with a computer, without providing me any details about what computer, or even the problem was. And now I have to go into work into a building that's on lockdown and look out over a freaking war zone. I can't stop crying this morning. My life sucks so hard.

Oh Tom, I am so very sorry. Four hours of sleep is not enough and lockdown work is no good. Is there a way to compartmentalize and just make it through the next hour and then reassess?

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
He responded. I failed. He hasn't heard of most of my list. But most male musicians pass his test.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IHE failed. He hasn't heard of most of my list.
