What exactly happened at the con?

All of my information is at least second-hand, but some guy was harassing a woman who reported it, and instead of banning him forever like their policy says, they gave him a two year probation. In the meantime, another woman reported that he had harassed her, but that got no response. The shady part is that the zero-tolerance policy had apparently been put into place to get rid of a specific creepy guy no one liked, and this most recent harasser is some con bigshot. So.

Starfish move, but they crawl and they don't swim.

Maybe more arms = leveling up?

Is Octopus a more advanced level? Then you'll know.

Yay Dylan!

the drop-off of odd knicknacks to me

Kind of like leaving offerings at a holy shrine.

Also, watching this women's water polo game reminds me how much bullshit the BMI is. Those women are FIT. And I bet most of them are "overweight."

I wish my local paper had headlines like this:

Abstinence? You must be completely mad! Meet the amorous Italian swimming couple reveling in the Summer of Love Olympic village

Ugh.

Not that the specific creepy guy wasn't also a harasser, just to be clear.

I can't stop laughing at this GIF: [link]

That's wonderful, Tom.
