How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

How am I supposed to work right now? Jesus.

Right?!

I'm a little completely derailed myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've completely given up on work.

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

I understand that the DC National Guard answers directly to the President. So there's that.

Apparently the VA governor is sending the VA National Guard and some state troopers to DC. [link]

So, VA is sending VA National Guard and MD is sending state police. I'm reading DoD is now saying yes to sending National Guard.

Apparently Biden is set to speak soon.

Traitorous motherfuckers.

They're still trying to "coax" Trump into speaking.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Biden is speaking now.

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

They're still trying to "coax" Trump into speaking.

I understand the instinct to have him call off his own attack dogs, but when has that man speaking in public ever helped anything at all??

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

So he can tell them to stand down and stand by? I doubt anything he would actually be willing to say would help.

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

Yeah, I don't see that being a good idea

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

Meanwhile, the NYT just called it for Ossoff! This is certainly a whiplash kind of news day.

I'm really glad my neighbors didn't put up Trump signs, I tell you what. Would not be feeling as safe as I do if anyone had. Any of you who may not be as lucky, be careful.
