I had not heard of her, Jesse! I'll look for her other stuff.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
She has a PhD, in gossip! (she really does)

Buzzfeed has been cultivating serious journalistic talent for a while now I thought.

""Brangelina" first decimated the gossip landscape 12 years ago"
Made me think of how irritated ita would have been (at that horrible mis-use of "decimate"). I was a little annoyed on her behalf.

OK, that's awesome.
That was a strikingly bad use of decimate. Even for the more or less accepted modern meaning it didn't make sense, really.
ETA: what I was actually coming in here to say: have successfully changed my start time, yay! That's one thing my employer is very good about, although they are a bit behind the times wrt working remotely, I think (we can, if we have to, but we can't do it regularly. Which is silly, if you ask me, but that's the policy)
Also, coworker across the aisle has declared that my stripey pants are hypnotic and distracting, as expected. I told him he was lucky I didn't pair them with other striped clothes or his head would explode.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
I would like to wear a muumuu to work and see if anyone notices. It's that kind of workplace.

Nice.
I think I will wear the aloha dress and bring the two muumuus in case I want to change or one of my coworkers could use one.
