We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Just a warning. There is some server wonkiness this morning. So far, it only seems to be impacting hosted URLs that are near the end of the alphabet.

But, you know, don't be surprised if we go away for a minute or two.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's all moving verrrry slowwwwly for me, here.

We put in word to Steven and it seems to be better now.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Page loading is very slow for me right now, POP3 is timing out, and the web mail interface (horde) took forever to load, then wouldn't let me log in.

Our wings are not tired.

Same here for a bit DX, but it seems to be better now.

eta: until I posted this message which took longer than usual.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Slowed to a crawl for me too, I thought it was because of another site I had open.

DX's last post in Bur'cy showed up for me as 3510 of 3511, btw, with no following post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Here are my traceroutes, the first from when b.org was effectively unresponsive, and the second when it was fine.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was just popping over to mention how excruciatingly slow the board is being.
