And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

In the Google/Oracle case, AFAIK we're still waiting for the judge to decide if API's can be copyrightable at all - the jury was instructed to proceed as if they are, so that they could come to a decision, but the whole thing could still be thrown out.

Ahrg. I have to fill out trip and expense reports for two different agencies. And they all have their own forms and rules. And only one is actually giving me my money back (which they better do soon because DC is nagging me.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Burrell!

Oy, sara.

msbelle, I hope it went OK at the hospital.

I was just thinking, the saddest part of MCA's death is that now the arbiter of what is misogynist is gone, and how will we ever now know when to criticize a film for misogyny?

Absolutely. Who will tell us now?????

msbelle, you're a wonderful mom, and mac is lucky to have you. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.

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

msbelle, I was attempting suicide when I was twelve, and in and out of some shitty places.

What I remember now is how hard my parents fought to try and keep me alive. Mac is lucky to have you. You are a good mom. He will remember how hard you fought for him and feel blessed by it.
