I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Gold star, Jesse!

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

I went to lunch, and now I can get back to work. But apparently that requires work, and I don't wanna.

Let's all just not work in honor of Armistice Day.

ETA I am pretty successfully trying to do as little as possible because I just don't feel like making much of an effort today

Behold my youngest goddaughter. I have had no influence over this kid. Nope, not at all. [link]

Because books.

So Louis CK's apology says no less than five times how much these women admired him: [link]

Um. I give him credit for admitting that the stories are true, but dude, hold your ego in check for a minute.

Yeah, he doesn't quite get the power dynamic, but his statement gets more credit than all the "I don't remember it that way" or "it was a different time" statements we've been getting. I do like his last paragraph.

HOW CAN THERE STILL BE TWO HOURS IN THIS WORKDAY?!?!?!?!

The thing is, though, masturbating in front of someone? Totally a power thing. You're not inviting them to participate, you're not giving them pleasure, you're not *sharing* in a sexual activity. You're forcing someone whose career you could make or break watch while you wave your dick around, and the thrill of that power has got to be part of the appeal of doing it in the first place.

Oh totally. It's still only partial credit, only positive at all relative to the usual non-apologies.

I can't figure out what to say on AAM, so I'm just going to boggle here. In discussions about the total inappropriateness of going to The Book of Mormon as a work outing, someone said that they weren't familiar with the musical, but based on the comments, it sounded a lot like Leonard Bernstein's Mass.

Which...sort of? If you turn your head? Except also really really not at all?
