There was an earlier, 1980s Marple on the BBC.

Lovely, just got the price estimate for my carpal tunnel. $900+ dollars. As always, I'm hugely grateful we can afford it, and so angry thinking about the state of insurance in this fucking country.

Gud, I must be wording my question wrong because that list does not answer it. I'll give it some more thought later.

Have they updated the Beeb extension? Because the last iPlayer update made it stop working a few months ago, at least for me.

Ow. Got drunk with friends last night, which felt amazing at the time but now my stomach is staging a revolution and I don't like it one bit.

I never watched Galavant, and I guess I thought the guy from Psych was the lead?

He sort of became the de facto lead in the second season, although Joshua Sasse was still playing the title character. Ah well, as show-eating woobified former villains go, I prefer Medieval Fonzie to Undead Fonzie.

I'm not in denial, I'm in disbelief and shock. A difference of opinion is one thing, but this is a total repudiation of everything that matters to me. What Laura said earlier, too long to C&P, but that's what I've been thinking: I can either withdraw and hide in work and fiction and my own life and friend and family and pay no attention to politics for 4-8 years, or I can throw myself into activism. I want to be the person who does the latter, but I don't think I've got it in me. I'm tired, and I'm heartbroken. It feels like everything we fought for for so many years, everything it seemed like we were close to finally getting, is gone, not just a setback, this feels like more than half my country has spat on and stomped on everything I believe and all the good I desire for the world, out of petty hate and false superiority. I feel like there's no point, there's no more "educating" or "enlightenment" that can be accomplished, hate won and the haters don't want anything I want. There is no common ground to be found.

I'm tired, and I'm heartbroken.

Completely. The only thing that helped a bit today was also bittersweet. Only half of the people voted at all, and half of them voted for Trump. So really only a quarter of the people I look at support bigotry and hatred. Better than half? I mean half the people just don't give a crap one way or the other, but that is slightly better than being all out haters.

My current question is if the Senate will confirm all of Trump's insane cabinet nominees.

Zen speaks for me at the moment. I suspect next week, what Laura said will be closer to where I'll be then. Meanwhile,

Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. nger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

Or, to quote Xander, "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to anger... no, wait. Fear leads to hate, hate leads to the dark side. Hold on...no, um. First you get the women, then you get the money, then you-- Okay, can we forget that?"

Sorry. Little levity? Just to break the horrible, horrible tension? In slightly heartening news, I DVRd the PBS documentary on Hamilton but had never the time and inclination to watch it until last night. Since watching it? My heart is measurably less achy.
