Yes, that's him! He was marvellous! Really sweet and quiet and so intelligent, and very "yeah, he's like that" about Tommy.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

I don't know who Tommy Davidson is (really not my kind of movie, definitely) but anyone who doesn't value ita ! on sight is kind of dumb.
I had a real "only at Readercon" moment yesterday -- I went in a little late to a panel retrospect on Chip Delany's work, sat down at an aisle seat about halfway back in the room, got my knitting project organized, started to enjoy the discussion -- then I got around to looking around the audience.
Chip was seated directly across the aisle from me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Nova is draped across my lap, as usual. At least she stopped kneading my thighs.

I just looked at the commenting system at gawker and io9.
holee fuck. what a disaster. how can people read the comments at all?

Because books.
I think ita was saying it had to be about page views, because you have to keep clicking to see the replies to a certain comment, and then click some more. It's infuriating and no fun.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Liese, as I have familial obligations (Have I mentioned how sick I am of baby showers?) in Indiana on the 11th, and won't be able to leave early in the day, I don't think we'll manage to get terribly far afield.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Amy,
oh that's a good point. It has completely disabled any functional commenting at all though. They might as well remove comments.

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
Reposting from my FB Wall to aid in data collection:
Someone is wrong on the internet and I need your help. Ladies, (just the ladies, now) I'm taking a poll. I'm sending up the bat signal.
I'm asking for a little help here in proving that the plural of anecdote is not data. Here goes.
My question is this: What's your favorite Beastie Boys song?
Don't laugh! It'd be really helpful if you could give me an answer. Don't let people be wrong on the internet. :/

Because books.
I would help but ... I don't have one. Not really a fan.
They might as well remove comments.
And half the time, that was the only reason to read the article. So stupid.

Allyson,
that's a tough one. I can only pick one?
