I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

The Breitbart version doesn't redact a lot of things that it should, like the agent names.

Thrive to spite them
Which puts the agents at risk from extremists.
It's interesting to see who of the GOP has been quiet and who is still trying to defend Trump or make this seem like it's no big deal/political persecution. Although I have seen the spin that since the warrant doesn't say the word "nuclear" that means it wasn't about nuclear weapons. It just says "Information, including communications in any form, regarding the retrieval, storage, or transmission of national defense information or classified material"

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
One of my former professors left Chautauqua 2 hours before Salmon Rushdie was stabbed and then shared the news that one of my other old professors (the one who introduced me to Brecht) passed away today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was at Chautauqua? I was literally just trying to describe that to Javachik today. (Due to my current location being "Chautauqua-by-the-sea" [link] )

Yes- It is ALL OVER the local news here because it was somewhat “local”.
My professor’s family is the kind that used to “summer” and I think they still have a family summer house in Chautauqua. She also went to Mount Holyoke and babysat for John Irving. But there is really no more family money.
Also, I knew there WERE Chautauqua’s everywhere, but I didn’t know they still existed.

The BBC had a report from a freelance reporter who was attending the Rushdie talk. It was pretty horrifying, and they talked a lot about how little security Rushdie seemed to have, given the fact that the fatwa is apparently still in place. It's so sad.

It really is horrific. I know living sheltered with security must suck, but so does getting stabbed! It sounds like he is in pretty bad shape.
Off to see my SIL in NJ this morning (after the gym). Just overnight to see a play in the park near her then back tomorrow. More excursions more often is my new objective.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am sort of working. Logged into the work laptop while IT takes it over remotely to update my Citrix receiver. He didn’t have time to do it yesterday and I won’t have time Monday so here we are. And it looks like he dl’d the wrong one yesterday so first we will get another version…
