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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My suggestion for irony of the week - in the UK, Boris Johnson turned up at the polling place, but he hadn't brought his ID with him (which he had pushed for) and was turned away without voting

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

The French news would be better if the French left weren't almost as rabidly antisemitic as the French right.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, sarameg!

Our wings are not tired.

I just wish for literally zero political talk, because I just cannot.

Have a wonderful, and non-political time!

So much good food, and a reminder that I really enjoy my cousins' company.

Nice! Good times with family are the way to spend holidays.

Bwah! Love it.

I hear you on the French, Plei, but they have to be better than Le Pen.

Yes, absolutely! Sadly, not as much better for French Jews as one might think, but better for the rest of France for sure.

A drive by this morning to wish my cousin a Happy Birthday! I am forgetting what she calls herself here, but she knows who she is!

Dana, I know it's a year away, but I think you need to put this in your "places to try in Richmond" file: [link]

Also, it's beastly out there.

I have one more workday to get shit done before NASCAR. Wish me luck!
