I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dear NYT:

In an interview Tuesday, Mr. Hogg said they had been singled out because of their prominence and emphasized that ad homonym attacks would not end school shootings.

I don't think that means what you think it means. It only sort of sounds like you think it means.

ad homonym attacks

Damn, high standards over there at the Grey Lady.

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

There's this [link] which seems like a useful term but is almost certainly not what they meant.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, Shir. Yeah, I can see how that would make things bad with the family gathering.

I am overhearing people processing orders wrong for one of my old accounts, but it is none of my business. So hard to stay out of it!

Also, some of my kosher-for-passover foood is being delivered today and it is ridiculous how excited I am to try new snacks! There are two reform synagogues in Vallejo and a Chabad house in Vacaville but I don't know where those people shop, the whole county is pretty scarce on kosher anything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We are well-stocked with Passover snacks, thanks to Moti's Kosher Mart. I do wish the regular supermarkets had better selections, but it is what is.

I was dreading next summer, but now it looks like 2020 for JWST launch. It's not great. A couple years of budget limbo with this nightmare admin.

sarameg, I haven't looked at the budget, but many of the articles I've seen assert that the Democrats got increases in science spending over the last few years. Maybe that will help?

I should take a look & see what our budget looks like, but since I don't set any priorities it's kind of pointless.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't mind his self-confidence in general, but seriously dude. His inability to recognize that people with way more experience might have a clue is a real handicap.

Argh. Raising same kid over here
