I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What the actual fuck, Tom.

This too shall pass.

Ah, nothing like being heard.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

And nope. He just sent over the exact same wrong prescription again. Jesus Christ.

Oh my god, I am so ragey on your behalf!

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Oh, look. A Patient Satisfaction survey.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Candid and accurate feedback is important.

Shake their complacence.

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

Flames on the side of my face

I was out to dinner with DH and son and was getting a stream of conflicting reports from the Correspondents Dinner tonight. I'm going to wait until morning for a better clue to what happened.

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

A gunman who was staying at the hotel tried to shoot his way into the Correspondents Dinner. He never made it into the main room and no one died, not even the gunman. While folks on Bluesky gave journalists who planned to attend a lot of flack before the event, the journalists were certainly on hand for a heck of a story.
