NY Times had an article about Catfish: [link]
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I've been tuning in now and then. The irony of the pres of the senate always leaning towards the woman to his side for advice is not lost on me. Also? Texas fucktards.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
But are we watching the Texas Senate Livestream?
I am. On tenterhooks. I should be in bed but I can't leave now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No, it's really not.
This would be fascinating if I weren't so horrified that we're still at this point. It's still fascinating. Newsroom is kinda in my blood. Except now it's a livestream and Twitter. Which is different.

What are they talking about right now? Are they shutting her down for reading something?

They are awaiting a ruling. Mics seem to be muted during these moments.
I'll admit I got teary at the woman who left her Dad's funeral to come back.

Here's the deal. There were three points of order raised:
1) she said something not germane: sustained by chair
2) assisted by colleague with back brace: submitted to body and sustained
3) germane again: sustained by chair
So now those in favor of the bill are trying to move things towards ending the filibuster, and those against are trying to stall/challenge the points of order sustained.
That's my understanding, anyway.
oh wait, I just refreshed. guess i was behind. sorry.

If you have even 10% understanding right now, my hat is off to you. Well, I'm not wearing a hat. My hair clippy thing is off to you. I'm Googling like I mean it and reading and listening to the proceedings but I have almost no clue exactly what is going on. I know the outcome matters, but I am kinda lost on the proceedings.
edit: There are over 125,000 people watching this. Someone needs to explain it to me. Also who is the woman next to Hegar?
