I feel like this is the time to mention a current-favorite factoid: there are no Protestants on the US Supreme Court right now.
Huh.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

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
Speaking of wrong things on the internet, did you guys see The Woman Who Wasn't There last night? Kristen and I were fascinated.

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

H.P. Lovecraft Answers Your Relationship Questions
I am e-mailing that to my Lovecraft-loving brother right now.
I wonder what the impact is on people with ADD, who already have problems with executive functioning. Probably just magnifies it.
Not sciencey, but in my totally anecdotal first-person experience, it makes total sense. Executive function/focus/will/whatchamacallit is absolutely a spoon.
Oh, yeah. A lot of spoons in Tim's case. He spends so much energy on executive function at work for 8 hours that when he comes home, he can't just start working on a project. He has to take a nap first or his brain will burst into flame.

If you hold back laughter in a church or classroom, every subsequent silly notion is that much funnier until you run the risk of bursting into snorts.
Ego depletion also explains the giggle loop!

You know what, mommy? Vampires are my favorite persons. They drink people's blood, and they have the sharpest teeth. That's what makes them so interesting.
Dear Matilda, I love you very very much. Also, reading this while listening to "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" by MCR makes it even better.
Has she heard the song "The Awful Truth" by Carol King, from the Really Rosie album? The one about becoming Mrs. Dracula, also known as one of wee Jilli's favorite songs? I think she'd like it.

Also: JZ, may I post that quote of Matilda's on my Tumblr? I will attribute it to "one of my favorite kidlings". (Wait, how old is Matilda nowadays?)

Since she's busy at work so I'll grant parental consent.

You can use her name if you want. She's 5 and a half.
