I missed all the Dawkins/Watson discussion. I will merely note one of my favourite Frasier quotes, where during a big fight Niles shouts "Don't you dare call me irrational, you know it makes me crazy!"
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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
So that was boring. I will wait in line for about four minutes for a beer. I am not waiting in line for twenty minutes for a doughnut and bacon. I had a beer, peoplewatched, decided I wanted a dish of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and never even saw penn and teller.

I may have bought too much fruit.

what kind of fruit?
I am up early and contemplating going to swim (I think I will). I want to avoid the 405 and all neighborhoods around it, except that's where my yoga studio is and I want yoga too.
Harumph.
I also just uninstalled Adobe Creative Suite 5 (except for photoshop and indesign). holy shit, my computer is running so much faster.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
True that CS is processor intensive. I was just reading on facebook that I shouldn't upgrade.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Looks like another nice day here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Penn and Teller are rarely worth it, and examples of the skeptic community I find them offputting assholes.

Methley plums, apricots, white peaches, cherries. I'll really have to up my fruit consumption this week (and I eat a lot of fruit.) And tiny yellow-orange tomatoes from my tomato guy (he has the widest variety at the market, and claims in all of Md.) On top of the spinach and empanadas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Interesting article by Lev Grossman (the novelist) in Time magazine about fanfiction, HP in particular
Interesting mostly in that he's clearly a fan and knows the territory. So a rare non-condescending mainstream look at fanfic.

Well, he did borrow extensively from Narnia and references HP for The Magicians.
