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

IJWTS Jittery Johns Coffee is aptly named.

You should try Death Wish.

[eta: Okay on reread that sounds more threatening than I meant it to be! I do not want anyone to die, but I can recommend a tasty high-caffeine coffee brand.]

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Dana, thank you for that tweet. Made me giggle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You should try Death Wish.

I laughed!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I'm glad to hear that the windows of Notre Dame are all right (I don't know French, but I understood enough of Dana's post to get the basic info). I'm glad that whatever they saved is saved. It does sound like it was an accident ... whenever I hear of something historic being destroyed on purpose, it makes me sick. Accidents, while upsetting aren't quite as bad as if someone had set the fire on purpose.

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

Hilarious, Jess! I actually drink decaf almost exclusively, but I will keep Death Wish in mind for when I want to see tachyons.

I keep thinking about what it must be like today to be the guy responsible for checking to make sure nothing is on fire before they lay off work in the evening. Even if he did everything right, he still must feel...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Apparently the bit about the replacement trees being regrown at Versailles is not true. It's really fucking hard to believe anything when the internet exists.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It does have some basis in fact, though. Just not for Notre Dame.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

It's really fucking hard to believe anything when the internet exists.

I've been allergic to "huge if true" tweets for a long while now (especially from reporters. It's your job, FFS, verify it), so for Notre Dame I verify everything with at least one trust worthy newspaper and an official French account (reporters from another newspapers/authorities/etc.). Don't you mess with my hope, internet people.
