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

People are criticizing the NASA announcement even before they make it: [link]

the angle being used to sell the story is that this might have implications for alien life. Of course, the results have nothing to do with aliens. If anything, they expand the possibilities of what alien life might look like. If bacteria on Earth can exist using a biochemistry that’s very different to that of other microbes, it stands to reason that aliens could do the same.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Spidra, you can submit it to the good stuff tumblr yourself, even without an account. At that linked page, click on "Submit a text post" and there will be a dropdown list that allows you to choose "Submit a link" or "Submit a photo" or whatever. Paste in your link and hit submit. It's moderated, so Jesse will see it and can make a call if she wants.

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

Wonder Woman did change. I don't like it either.

Weight watchers, yes, and now you're completely dependent on their site for points calculation; which would not be a big deal if their site wasn't possibly the worst thing on the internet.

if their site wasn't possibly the worst thing on the internet.

Please, nobody take this as a challenge.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, its a whole weird points thing, veggies free, I guess because people were spending their points on Oreos instead of carrots? I dunno. It seems convoluted now.

The beta versions of the gawker network might rise to the challenge. So far, pretty irritating.

Where did you eat it?

Oh lord, I don't remember. I used to go up to visit more often and after a couple of tries I was done with the pizza. I much prefer Chicago-style and hate thin crust, so I've had this debate with a friend a few times. She's all: "No it's great because you blot the grease and then fold it over..." and then I start to making gagging noises. Because I'm mature like that.

Chuck E. Cheese would beg to differ.

A fair point.

tommyrot- You might check Timberland's boots. They're spendy, but I've been very impressed with the quality. I'm sure you walk a lot more than I do (and in worse weather) but I've had the same pair for almost 3 years and they're still holding up fine.
