"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I never touched my style sheet, and I can't see the quote formatting either.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, the only thing I've done is apparently make the text smaller.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Yeah, I don't have anything customized that would affect the quoting. I think something went funky.

All my customized sheet has in it is

img {display:none}

and the carat quoting isn't rendering for me either...

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

If you were writing a light-hearted anecdote, would you say "nationalist" over "patriot" when describing the guest of honour's knee jerk reaction to defend her country? I think "nationalist" is distracting. I'd even go with "jingoist" first, and that's not a nice thing to say.

Patriot or jingoistic. Nationalist has more geopolitical overtones. In my head, anyway.

Punishingly Intricate

Yeah, that sucks, Dana. Hope there are brighter days ahead. (No idea what your husband does for a living but my DC area-ish company is hiring!)

My day was total stressball. We have way too much to do. And all I want to do is lie on a beach and read a book. No chance to do that at all for the rest of the year, I don't think. wah wah wah

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Best SCOTUS decision tweet?

Did Chief Justice Roberts vote the way he did because of bath salts?

Huh. The default stylesheet works when you're not logged in, doesn't it? I tested it on my browsers on this machine, and it quotes whether I'm logged in with my mods, or logged out with vanilla.

If you view source of your page, the quotes are embedded in t blockquote right? And if you look at the default stylesheet here: [link] it has blockquote defined in it thusly:

cite, dfn, blockquote, .quote {
  margin: 2px 4em 2px 4em;
  font-style: normal;
  display: block;
}
cite, blockquote {
  font-family: monospace;
}

What am I missing?

It's like this (with carats, obv):

[div class='postcontent'][p][blockquote] It's mostly the shitty timing and the shitty way they went about it.
[/blockquote] [/p]

And it looks the same logged out.
