I'm dealing with shit by yelling at politicians on Twitter.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Because books.
Even Curt Schilling is ripping Trump for the lack of response.
I've been so furiously angry all day, at everything, that I'm vibrating. I can't even think what my blood pressure is. I can literally feel a vein throbbing in my forehead.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am so sick and goddamned tired of otherwise reasonable people (and my husband falls in this category) who say "Well, the guns are already out there, so what good is banning them going to do?"
WELP, I'm behind the wheel, so I might as well drive 90 mph! There's literally no other option!
What the shit, people. What the shit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It totally is. It boggles my goddamn mind.

In other news, they still haven't gotten the video part of my conference call working, which is almost equally infuriating??

When gun control legislation didn't pass after Sandy Hook, I gave up any hope of the US government ever having a reasonable attitude towards guns. If we, as a country, weren't willing to take steps to make it slightly more difficult to murder 5 year-olds on school grounds, I can't think of another line that would need to be crossed to get us there.
Co-worker who was in Vegas this weekend is back in NYC, and alive, thank god.

Our wings are not tired.
Not only did Sandy Hook not get them to adopt reasonable gun laws, they won't even denounce Sandy Hook deniers.
I was going to say it was discouraging, then went for depressing, then tried infuriating, but I can't come up with any words that describe the horror and twisting in my chest when I read the news.

I read a thing on twitter about how long it took tobacco legislation to go through. First reports about effects of smoking were in the late 60s, but big tobacco owned politicians. You could still smoke on planes in the 80s. Now you can't smoke in public spaces in most of the country. I think change can happen. Everytown joining with Mom's Demand and having Bloomberg $$ behind them is making a difference in State Houses slowly, but surely. Congress does not lead on these things, it follows, after it feels the will of the country shift undeniably. Pound any politicians in your state with how much money they take from the NRA and other gun lobbyists. Some political challenger will soon run an add saying that a sitting Congressman or Senator made money off these dead bodies and it will catch. May not be this year, but I think it will happen.
