Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Actually, I'm pretty sure they own Quilted Northern and Angel Soft.

Thank you JZ. I can never remember when I am at the store and hence usually just buy the store brand.

That chalkboard skull is beyond nifty. Who wouldn't want one?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Okay, has io9 always been covering pharmaceuticals and I've only now noticed? Because they're annoying me again. I wouldn't characterize any of those "moves" as "sleazy." Thankfully, it looks like the commenters are already making my points for me.

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

IO9 has always covered science and medicine, Polter.

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

Advice: My boss has been out for 7 days with pneumonia. This is the first day she hasn't called/emailed to say that she won't be in or give a status. She isn't answering phone or texts, and she lives alone. Her parents and brother are deceased. She lives around the corner from here. I really want to drop by to make sure she's ok. But is this some sort of transgression? We do go out after work often to shop and sometimes hang out on the weekend to see a movie/have dinner, so I think I'm looking in on a friend. Dropping by to make sure she's ok is cool, right?

Because books.

Oh, I think so, Allyson.

Our wings are not tired.

I would check on her.

I think it is more than OK, Allyson. In fact, I think it is necessary. Cause having seen how delusional my mom got when she had pneumonia, someone really should check in on her in case she needs to go to the hospital (my mother insisted she didn't need to. Hah fucking hah.) Show up with soup, if you feel the need for an icebreaker.

I just spent half an hour filling out Loki and Pumpkin's microchip accounts. So like, if they got out and caught and scanned? I'd totally get an email. As well as calls. Strange new world sometimes.

OK. I'm clocking out. Three yays and no nays.

Allyson, go check on her.

I have a clueless kid TV question! Does Yo Gabba Gabba sell the songs their celebrity guests perform? I'm assuming they do. Yes, I need to know if I will be able to buy MCR's "Every Snowflake's Different".
