"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How about some good news?

You've all followed Emmett's path since his very inception, so I am happy to announce that Emmett has officially been accepted into the apprentice program of Electrician's Union Local 50-something, starting in the next week or so.

He's on his new career path.

That’s fantastic news, David!

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Dolly Parton is easily Pigeon Forge and Sevierville's greatest export. And the Smoky Mountains are beautiful.

But there's a reason I don't go back to East Tennessee to visit. Stay safe, ND.

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

That’s great news! Congrats to Emmet!

I am weirdly surprised that Pigeon Forge isn’t a Dolly infused utopia. I hope your stay does not have too much ::gestures vaguely:: Drew

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm happy for Emmett and sorry for askye. Losing a pet is hard.

In other news, Michael Lewis and Casey Cep in a discussion about federal workers and patriotism and their book Who is Government?. It's pretty cool and inspiring. [link]

That is fantastic news for Emmett! Congrats.

I'm so sorry, askye.

I'm... here and reading along. Looking forward to crossword puzzles and Buffistas this weekend. Bright spot!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

All right, Emmett! That's pretty cool!

Our wings are not tired.

Well done, Emmett! That is easier said than done.

I'm sitting at the gate waiting to board. The gym across from me is arguing non-stop. With his wife, and apparently with the gate person. Here's hoping he doesn't sit near us. I am in the Exit row, because huge traveling companion. He always says he is fine anywhere, but as the person next to him I say not so much.

That's awesome. It's a great trade.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's a great trade.

And it’s one that’s going to be in demand as the world decarbonizes.
