Laura, that was exactly the point I just made on FB to someone who was talking about "warning signs"
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Our wings are not tired.
I don't understand what the authorities are supposed to do about someone who seems dangerous but hasn't broken any laws.
I know. And yet we have to find a way to solve this.
Totally jealous of the 22222 post! Two is my number.

I don't think there are any politically viable solutions.

If requiring a firearms license to own or purchase a firearm was politically viable, then I think there are things that could be done. Revoking or denying a license for domestic violence would be really helpful.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The problem is that literally nothing is politically viable, apparently.
I wish you all could take advantage of the glorious distraction that is the conversation on my local NextDoor site, started with a simple question: "Is fluoride bad?"

That's what I found so frustrating about the bump-stocks. We can't even outlaw something that exists solely to get around existing laws? It's not I think outlawing bump-stocks is going to save a bunch of lives, it's just such a low bar and even that is too much.

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

Oh wow. My posts last night are almost incomprehensible. I must have been more out of it than I thought. I was having a terrible time with headaches and nosebleeds.
