Fabulous! The teamLab spaces look amazing. Enjoy!
Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
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.
Timelies all!
I work at NIH and the template email showed up in my inbox. Ugh.
We are flying to visit my folks in Florida tomorrow. No snow where they are, but it'll be warmer than here. We get back Sunday night.
For the first time in 2 years I have successfully linked my external hard drive (holds all my music and backups of pics) to iTunes/music AND I’m getting to update the music on my phone and offload pics!
It’s very exciting.
And because I’m slightly OCD and my anxiety likes a project, I am getting album artwork off the interwebs for anything Apple music is not producing (odd what they “do not have”)
News doesn't make it to me most of the day, and I've been trying to avoid it. But on the way home I saw the thing about Trump declassifying info about JFK/RFK/MLK Jr assassinations and felt sort of disoriented by not being appalled by something he did. I mean, the next story more than made up for it, but it was a weird minute there.
On the upside, my ex-boyfriend just posted that anyone who's "okay with what's happening" should "go fuck yourself you rancid piece of shit," which raised my spirits. I dated the best people.
Hec, thank you for injecting some outside goodness. That is one nice hotel, and goes against every stereotype I've ever had about Tokyo.

My first reaction is that he did it to distract from something HUGE he's about to pull.
As in, everything.
EPA staff cannot hold meetings with outside parties. DHS disbanded all "affinity groups". The names of all probationary employees are to be reported.
I'm feeling slightly less panicky now, because my staff are probably reasonably well protected: they were hired into remote positions, and that does come with some protections: we cannot unilaterally change the terms of their employment without notice. I may end up back in the office 4-5 days/week, which I just will have to live with.
But nobody is able to focus on their work and everyone is twitchy.
