I did. That was quite a moving read.
I have tabs open with the alien stuff. More fun to read than the usual news stuff.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

There was a big Internet outage in lower Manhattan yesterday, caused by workers cutting through a data cable. My workplace is describing it as a "Force Majeure event".
Now I'm wondering if there ever was a superhero (or supervillain) team called Force Majeure, and why not?

Half of what makes it tough is parent stuff, so if you have any parent stuff, definitely make sure you are in a quiet room first! (This essay is not from the book.)
Ugh, my credit card has fraudulent charges. My bank is on top of it, which is great, but it's such a pain in the ass to have the card cancelled, wait for the new card to be sent, and then have a whole new credit card number to memorize.
That is so annoying.
I usually love when my meetings are canceled but sometimes I want the info and pinning someone down that a meeting allows for and canceling it means I have to keep sending annoyed emails. Do not like.
Also annoying!!

Argh also really annoying: booked a haircut a few weeks ago, stylist just canceled on me. Not the most important thing at all but once I really wanted to deal with and have done and was glad I’d managed to schedule.
I feel like Force Majeure would have to be a villain?? But totally should be.

But Major Force sounds so positive and strong!

You're half-right, Jesse! Major Force
Looks like the aliens have been here all X-Files style: [link]
I did not have credible whistleblowing about visitations by non-human intelligences on my 2023 bingo card, but sure, why not?

I just hope the aliens are hot. It's what we deserve.
