Wow, interesting, David!!
I went to a bar and was waiting for it to open with a couple friends, so we could watch the women's soccer at 3pm here. And then we got them to put the Canadian channel on and watch their commentary. Better commentary, much worse cinematography (on the games but mostly on the pre-taped segments with athletes).

Michele Obama may have great arms, but I defy anyone to look at her child-bearing hips and suggest she was born male.

FB is giving me prosthetics ads. I mean, I DO have a friend who is an amputee (and has the most amazing prosthetics, including ones specifically for skateboarding) but....

Our wings are not tired.
Well obviously Michele was born a man, she is way too tall to be a woman. (Does double take at 6' tall son's girlfriend and SILs)
The Hillary killer of all opponents or those who insult her thing is way too wide spread. I have too many people in my life that accept every conspiracy theory as fact. I am on a kind of FB vacation because I will go off on people if I don't.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Hell yeah. The comic con has started doing photo shoots there.
Also, our failed attempt at a subway is fascinating.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I need affirmation on something: one of my classmates in my improv class had successful surgery for a brain tumor within the past year. I'm not sure if he's currently receiving chemo or radiation, because he didn't say, and it's none of my business.
Class is tonight and I have a cold. I should probably stay home, right? I mean, I wouldn't want to give it to anyone, but his immune system might be suppressed because of chemo meds. I don't want to miss class (although I do feel lousy), but I don't want to get anyone, but especially this fellow, sick.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The dog we are dogsitting is snoring. So cute.
I understand your concern, Tep, but isn't it up to him to take his own precautions? If he's that immuno-supressed, would he be going out?

Steph, If you're feeling sick enough that you'd feel like you're infecting everyone, I'd stay home. But I wouldn't let this guy's presence in your class dictate it. If you're feeling well enough, you could just tell the class you have a cold, and if they're vulnerable they'll stay away.
(My friend's husband has an inoperable brain tumor, and while he's being treated for it, he wouldn't have the energy to be in an improv class.)
