"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

David, do you have a link for that tased-himself-in-the-balls story?

It was a twitter thread so I cannot vouch for the accuracy.

But one protestor did definitely have a heart attack while tasering himself yesterday.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That just made me think of ita and the shocknife.

What is even happening?

Gris said he reached out. I don't think he's heard anything.

Yeah, on January 2nd, Gris said he reached out to Gud on January 1st, but had not heard back from him. [link]

Before Gris reached out to Gud, he asked us if anyone had heard from Gud. The last I'd heard prior to that was on December 16th, when Volans said she'd heard from Gud. [link]

Gud, if you come to Natter and think, "Why is everyone talking about me?" I know, in my own case, it's because I will never get past how long DX was gone before we realized he'd been gone too long. I knew I hadn't seen him here in a while, and I knew that wasn't typical, but the "it's been too long" alarm didn't sound in my brain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Exactly.

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

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

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

I got to tell JZ this story while she giggled and just said, "Common Sense."

This is the best thing I've read all day.

She, however, did not tell her own staff.

This is not the worst thing I've read all day (I mean, consider the competition), but it still kinda sucks.

My tree and all the decorations came down on January 1. But I have a sort of bar thing separating the living room and the kitchen, and I strung up a bunch of blue lights there on the living room side. I like it.

Also Gud, if you haven't had time to work on the board for a while, so you've felt funny about posting, we are not asking because of that. We are asking because we care about you.

You have done and are doing what you can, when you can, as a labor of love, and you've already done a whole lot. Everything is good, man, except for how we would like to know you're okay.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

DX, and Frank, and Connie Neil. They're all painful and sorrowful. So, please, Gud, check in, and forgive the rest of us for being fussbudgets.

ION, Speaker Pelosi has just formally called for Pence and the Cabinet (whatever's left of it after all the resignations) to invoke the 25th Amendment.

IOON, I have also heard that it may have been a picture of Tip O'Neill. Anyhow, it was art, and he fucked with art and promptly found out.

OK, now the most implausible part of that story is that someone would want a picture of Tip O'Neill

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

That is Fargo level craziness.
