Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Next Presidential debate is scheduled in Florida--and will be a town hall.

I...ahm.

Meme going around proposing Samuel L. Jackson as moderator. "I said two minutes, Motherf*cker." That, and a kill switch for the candidate not officially speaking, would go far, I think, in "moderating."

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If there was a kill switch, Trump would just bellow anyway, which would be just as (or maybe more) chaotic. He doesn't need a microphone, and he's demonstrated amply in the last 4 years that he won't follow any rules that he doesn't want to follow.

Thrive to spite them

I think anyone who goes over the 2 mins should get slimed. And they dont' get to get cleaned off, they can wipe their face off but then they just stand there, covered in the slime for the debate so it's just layers of the really icky old style You Can't Do That On Television.

I saw a cartoon of the moderator's desk for the next event: shock collar, duct tape, whip, bullhorn, taser. Sounds about right.

Our wings are not tired.

Excellent plan, askye!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Turning off Trump's mic would just make him look like less of an asshole (if the TV audience can't see him interrupting) - this idea is much MUCH better.

Yes, that would work too.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Need a non-political distraction? Who knows houseplants? I'm trying to add some plants to my apartment and I've been looking into cat-safe, low-light options but I failed to one thing into account. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to the bromeliad that I bought. This morning I moved it to the laundry room and I've got a couple of air purifiers with new filters going and I'm already sneezing less. Is there another good option for a plant that can sit on a shelf and not kill me or the cats?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I find this amusing - it's Anna Russell giving you the entire Ring Cycle in a little under 22 minutes (as opposed to the 20 hours or so if you actually sit through it). From a 1953 show she did (she was an actual opera singer). Not a video of her, but with lots of pictures of Rackham illustrations, the original viking helmets with stuff stuck on and some that are modern, but I'm not sure where they're from.
