Who knew that a box of cat toys* would prove to be so entertaining to an 8 year old?
- Well it has little flashlights and quacking duck and oinking pig keychains too. She's also got a whole scenario going on with the toys and a matryoshka doll.
I'll be in my bunk.

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

The comments are safe to read (as of right now, anyway.) One was particularly on point:
Absolutely heartbreaking. We just witnessed yet another NOLA institution ripped to shreds by outsiders. Will it ever stop?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, terrible.

You know what this cityscape stencil [link] is lacking? The bat symbol. I may make one for my backyard to reduce the curse of the neighbor's ugly fence.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there anyone here willing to own up to using the word literally when they don't mean it? If so...do you get snippy if someone asks if that's what you really meant (especially when it's obvious you didn't?)?

I don't think I make that mistake, but if I did, I wouldn't mind of someone asked if I really meant that. Because it would help me communicate better.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I literally use literally as an intensifier all the time.

I don't think I've ever said it without hearing myself and saying, "Not literally." It is, however, one of my most pet peeves. One of the most annoying is "literally exploded." I have imagined what people, brains, the internet, ratings, interest, the stock market, and so on would look like after the explosion.

Man, mine too. I think because of the sheer irony of it. People who misuse it aren't using "literally"...literally.
