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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

McConnell's "let the states go bankrupt" idea seems to have pissed off some Republicans. A few are backing him but others aren't so it's interesting to see where the split is.

I seem to recall that, on the whole, Red states are more likely to be net consumers of federal funds and Blue states are net providers. Add that to the way the epidemic is moving into Red states, and any Republicans who can think beyond the ends of their own noses may be seeing a really unpleasant scenario unfolding by fall. Just in time for elections. (Assuming they happen.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh hold with a doctor's office, and the Muzak has stopped. Is that a bad sign?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Depends on how you feel about Muzak.

What is even happening?

The day the Muzak died...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I gave up after about 15 minutes.

Bye, bye, I won't wait to stand by...

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Huh. Did we know this already? [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I sure didn't know that!

I know I didn't, but it doesn't sound all that different from Lucille Ball's role in bringing Star Trek TOS to TV.

I remember discussions about it.
