No. And yes. It's always sudden.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sheryl, your child is like 1 or not even, yes? I woulda thought the bullshit arts-and-crafts homework would wait until they were at least solidly in the fingerpainting years, and I say that as an almost absurdly arts-and-craftsy type person!

Collage? Isn't the kid 1? How can they already be needing arts and crafts and homework and shit, Jesus!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

No, no, it's a collage =about= the little guy that gary and/or I were supposed to make.

Oh that's a load of ridiculous bullshit. Collage you make? Why??? If I want to be a scrapbook er I can. And wouldn't give it to the daycare.

Because of course you have nothing else to do with a tiny kid in the house than to make a collage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why are they allowed to assign you homework?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Jesus Christ, fucking Facebook. I am trying to be respectful of other people's opinions and get to actual facts and have, at least, polite discussions. But goddamn, it's difficult. And I just end up feeling depressed and drained.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Watching the RNC. Melania Trump is going to speak tonight. Apparently they're counting on Trump's lovely family to bring in the suburban-mom vote.

The first speaker is one Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Dynasty. I am having a hard time believing it, but there he is, with his unkempt beard and a flag headband. "No matter who you are, Donald Trump will have your back." [cheers and appaluse]

There are an awful lot of people in the crowd wearing sparkly flag outfits, and I saw one guy I swear is cosplaying Abe Lincoln.

I feel like I should run an intervention on you, Zen. But I'm guessing you're choosing to watch this of your own free wheel. I think I'll watch British Bake-Off videos on YouTube.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"If you're an average American and you feel like you've been forgotten by far away leaders, Donald Trump will be there for you."

"Donald Trump will always tell you the truth as he sees it." Implied but not said: those far-away leaders who've forgotten about you, ordinary hard-working Americans, they always lie to you.

Well, there you have it, that's why they're voting for him; they believe that.

Scott Baio will also be speaking, and I don't know why. They keep reminding people he's Chachi.
