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.
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

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 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

I just had a bowl of oatmeal for this very reason.

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.

What is even happening?
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.

there's a desk in there, and the goal is to free it to move out into the room in front of the window.
FREE THE DESK!
I have removed the printer from the nightstand and put the nightstand by the bed in this room. Put a lamp on it and filled the shelves and top with things off the floor. Next up 4 boxes of who knows what.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Security experts are saying that not even basic protocols of crowd control were enacted.
You don't need to be an expert to see that -- it was obvious just from looking. I've been to many group events of all sizes and goals from New Year's Eve in Times Square to a fairly small BLM march in Boston, and they all have some kind of crowd control.

Yeah, I've seen better crowd control on the elementary school playground.
David, do you have a link for that tased-himself-in-the-balls story?
My family thinks I've fallen prey to an internet jokester. I've tried to explain that you are one, but that I can tell from your font this is a real story.
