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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

True dat.

I think some of it may be an age-related change in attitude to sleep. When I was little I often fought sleep with every fibre of my being. As a middle-aged adult, any time with nothing to do is time I can nap!

Our wings are not tired.

Tested yesterday, just a cold to punish me for not masking on my flight, still just as boring as Covid, but good to see one line.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I'm just going to sit here and cry for a minute.

(Coming of age in Utah during the beginning of the AIDS epidemic was a personally historic event - a lot of the queer kids on campus hung out with the weirdos in the science fiction club. The irony of this being announced on Pioneer Day is not lost on me.)

With you. Steve died in 1987, long before there was any hope. I really hoped they would get here a lot sooner. This can wipe it out completely.

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

Wow, that’s great news. I’m sorry for those of you who lost people to that horrible disease.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Fantastic news. Growing up near Palm Springs, I watched the devastation.

Oh wow that’s amazing.
