In re my city's elected officials, I sometimes get the feeling they're the kind Molly Ivins referred to: "Half of them are under indictment and half of them are under average."
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.
Apparently the organizers have plans for every contingency
I am fucking envious of that project management, let me tell you. I'm trying to make the current project I'm PMing rock solid (which includes public arguments with my manager--she wants a detailed task-level project plan of tasks we're not performing and we're not auditing at that level, but SHE WILL NOT READ IT. I have to bring her to my desk to show her stuff, because if I email it, she won't open the attachment. If I print it, I don't know if she'd read the paper. I do get that she's completely e-mail overloaded right now, but it's also a problem. I can't solve it by not sending her important information she says she needs to know. The other business analyst has, like 10 ITEMS in his in-box. Fucking HELL. I had to go to drastic levels just to get to "All read", but only 10? I cannot file that fast. Anyway, my manager needs help. She can't sustain this, but how do you say that? How do you offer help without sounding like a condescending nagging douchenozzle. Email has a use, and if that use is no longer possible, you might as well not have an inbox anymore....and this parenthetical is now longer than the rest...)

National Guard in Long Beach and they issued a second mandatory evacuation notice for the town now because there is no water service or electricity.

LeN, there's a FEMA app for Android. Probably also one for iOS.

Oh dear. My former student is in Long Beach and the last I saw, they were staying through the storm, and she posted a picture on Facebook of the water half way up the living room walls.

My mother chose to stay and now I have no way of reaching her or anyone else in town.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
How can there be an Episode 7 if there were only three Star Wars films?

I seriously thought this had to be a hoax, but it's on Forbes.com!

Shocking exactly no one, I continue to heart Tom Scola.
Kristen, she is in Long Beach?
