Not entirely unrelatedly, I would like to punch any politician currently using "protect the 40 hour work week" as a talking point
What's that even about? I'm afraid to look it up.
Police procedure has changed since I was little.

I think it's that there's language in good old Obamacare that defines "Full-time" as 30 hours a week or somesuch and we can't have that now can we?
I don't want to look too deeply into it because I suspect the rage blackout would be dangerous.

Oh lord. Thank you -- that is plenty of information!
So someone I'm facebook friends with just posted a sad thing about a child dying (I think, again, I avoided most of the information) BUT the child's name is "Maiysn." It was in the status more than once as "Maiysn." I'm still living in hope that it was actually Maisyn, because at least that makes some modicum of sense in English.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
My new iPad arrived 2 days early. That means the rest of the day is a holiday, right?

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

I just asked my boss if I could have the rest of the week off, after getting news of the biggest grant either one of us has ever gotten. Sadly, the answer was no.

Surely there should at least be fireworks.
I had one of those dreams that seem to last forever. In it, my computer died, and I couldn't find a computer to research buying a new computer. I went to a library, but the sign in system for the computers was complicated and involved going to several floors and I got lost. (I get lost in dreams a lot.) Then I was in some kind of office and I asked several people who weren't using their computers if I could borrow them, but the people said "No."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I need captions naming the people in the Band Aid 30 video. I only recognize the people who were around for the first one. Also, are they singing "feed the world" or alternating between that and "heal the world"? The latter would make more sense. If you haven't seen the video yet, be warned. The beginning is... grim.

There was a thing on Buzzfeed that had screencaps with everybody labeled, plus the lyrics.
