I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I should have known.
Glad for tat, msbelle.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Tim keeps saying we need some plumbing work done (I know exactly zero about plumbing stuff and was trying to pretend that it's eternal and never ever needs maintenance), and every time he does, I mutter "Full. Copper. REPIPE." I think we didn't get to S6 of Buffy, so he's understandably confused.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
There was also a bit in Moonstruck where a plumber is talking up the advantages of copper pipes (the father of Cher's character).

We are getting full PVC repipe, but the desire to cry and smash things is much the same.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm excited about Hamliton in some ways and in others all I can do is look at all those names and think "slave holder, slave holder, supporter of slavery, liar about how all people being treated equal"
Christopher Jackson, who played Washington in the original Broadway cast, was interviewed where he talked about that. He mentioned playing a character that was both a foundational part of the American mythos and [hiding for possible dental squicks] someone who pulled teeth from his living slaves to use in his 18th-century dentures. He said it was a difficult issue to get his head around.
Nixon was preemptively pardoned.
He was pardoned by his former Vice President and member of his party, who didn't want more stuff to come out of a trial that could hurt the ability of the Republicans to have a political presence. I don't think Biden will have a similar motivation, should he be given the chance.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Our condo was built with PVC pipe. It burst while we were on vacation, so we came home to a complete mess. Luckily, we had good insurance, so we were able to spend the next 2 months in a hotel while the condo was repaired and repiped with copper pipe.
Anyone who wants to read more can check the Natter threads from the summer of 2002 (if the threads still exist). I talked about it at the time. Made the Buffy ep a few months later kind of tough to watch.

I'm more concerned that Trump will preemptively pardon himself and his family before leaving office.

Which is why the state prosecutions matter so much.
