I need Buffista Island now more than ever. Or one of those villages in Italy.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

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.

Damn, it's been quiet in here - more than 12 hours without a post?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I felt like one more post about how hard it was to drag myself out of bed wasn't needed. But I'm at work now so I'm ready to chat about not-work at the drop of a hat...

Wow, the DNC is suing the Trump campaign, WikiLeaks, and Russia. Can you sue Russia? The DNC thinks you can.

That's like Ron Swanson sending a letter to the country of Canada. ("It says 'Dear Canada, Fuck You!' ")

Huh. Interesting.
I so didn't want to get out of bed that I IMAGINED I snoozed my alarm. And instead turned it off. And overslept into when a meeting was supposed to be happening. Oops. And my head hurts and I'm a whiny baby and I want to not deal with anything right now.

I had a fuckton of work to catch up on from yesterday, but I'm free to roam the interwebs now. Hello interwebs!

You are my hero, meara.
I have lots of inventory analysis to do and streaming Prince music, I may actually be pretty quiet for a while. Unless I need to burble about Prince. Or, I suppose, inventory. We'll see how it goes.
Can you sue Russia?
I feel like I have a heard an actual answer to this but I don't remember what it was. I mean, not specifically Russia, but general who you can sue in what court system and it kind of boils down to you can sue anyone but they don't have to care? Obviously I have very little idea what I am talking about.

The article I read said that generally you can't actually sue other countries' governments, but the argument in this case is that they trespassed on private property and have no protection.

Washington Post says:
Suing a foreign country may present legal challenges for the Democrats, in part because other nations have immunity from most U.S. lawsuits. The DNC's complaint argues Russia is not entitled to the protection because the hack constituted a trespass on the party's private property.
The lawsuit argues that Russia is not entitled to sovereign immunity in this case because "the DNC claims arise out of Russia's trespass on to the DNC's private servers . . . in order to steal trade secrets and commit economic espionage."
