Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Because books.

Oh, that earworm. Darn you, wee Topic!Cindy.

Apparently the woman who died was a 14-year Air Force veteran, and a top-level security ... person? I have to find receipts for that, but jesus. And tasering yourself in the balls ... I can't.

Our wings are not tired

I knew that one of the demonstrators who died yesterday had accidentally Tasered himself.

OMG, is there an article about this?

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

What I now know is that he tased himself in the balls while trying to steal Thomas Paine's portrait.

Totally implausible, this season has gone entirely off the rails

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

Democracy may be a failed experiment, but at least we still have irony on our side.

I had blueberry pie for breakfast, and I'd do it again.

Sorry for the earworm, Amy. Every once (thrice) in a while, things get so bizarre, I think/hope, "Maybe I am just having a nightmare, and this absurdity is a point at which I could begin lucid dreaming."

I'm still sitting in the same spot, in the same clothes, with nary a cabana boy in sight though, and my TV is paused on a shot of Rudy Giuliani, so if it is a nightmare, I haven't achieved lucid dream state, yet.

Democracy may be a failed experiment, but at least we still have irony on our side.

Thank goodness for small mercies.
