Best of luck with the surgery, Steph!
Happy (belated) Birthday, lisah!
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

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

That imbecile makes Idiocracy look like a good alternative.

It's, like, fractal stupid. If you inspect any part of it it's even stupider than you first thought.

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"
The latest meme has Canada renaming the lake "Lake Epstein Files". Which would be awesome.

I guess today we are losing literal kings? Which is easier on me emotionally, I must admit.
I'm reading a book that keeps referring to something called "the Vastness" and for some reason every time it's mentioned I hear it being said in Effie Mucklewain's voice. It's very distracting (in part because I can't actually remember what the MB context was, if there was indeed any and this isn't just something my brain is doing for its own reasons)

I know this one! At the end of every episode, before Zebulon says "And if time and tide roil you too harshly..." Effie leads in with "Be sure and tune in this time next month for more adventures in the vastness."
