Wow.
Wow.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

Good they got him!
One good thing about the massive ransomware attack going on-- it means that a whole bunch of big governments (including the Russians) are going to be looking for the perpetrators and squishing them like small bugs. A scam like that, it relies on being sporadic, only getting smaller entities annoyed without the resources to come after the scammers.

Good to see they got him.

I hope so. The damage was big in China too. This morning they are making North Korea noises. Not sure if that is proven. Bug that is a bug that would be good to squish.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My new morning ritual:
Wake up.
Take pills.
Check Twitter to see if Trump has permanently ruined any of our cherished institutions yet.

He, of course, is taking the predictable course: defending what he did (because he did it, so by definition it must be right) and then yelling about the people who leaked it.

I appreciate the update, Dana. Like a groundhog, I can only poke my nose into Twitter briefly before being scared back into my bubble for six more weeks.
Also the reminder to take my pills.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This is one of my favorite things (for real) about my job: when an author is pissy about style changes that aren't negotiable. There are very few of these, but when it happens, no matter what the author says, we will NOT change the wording back to their original.
When they push back, I get to unleash the senior managing editor on them. She is a scary-ass pit bull on things like this, and it's a glorious thing to behold.

So Trump has himself said that he fired the FBI director because he didn't like that his campaign was being investigated. Then he follows up with disclosing classified intelligence provided by an ally that requested the intelligence be shared with nobody... to the Russians. And it appears the reason he shared the intelligence was to show off.
I wouldn't be surprised if Face The Nation this weekend is just John Dickerson saying "Are you fucking kidding me?"
