this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

So, I have to say this somewhere and where better than here? Joe Biden is turning into Jack Palance.

I *really* want to see the push-up challenge happen. Is that wrong?

(Look, in this hellscape we're living in, I'm taking my entertainment where I can get it.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hear that, Steph.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Jesse, that is bizarre! Has she heard of Jackson at all?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Whoa, that is shocking, Jesse!

I'll run that by her tonight to see. It was last night's final Jeopardy, and she was like, "Shirley Jackson, who's that??"

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

We've got one of those systems now where you tell it what floor and it tells you what elevator to go to.

BBC Scotland made a video where a couple of Scottish men were stuck in that kind of elevator because it didn't understand their accents. [link]

It does seem like it could be an accessibility issue. What if you can't speak?
