Anonymous started being royally immature asses, is what they did.
I guess, one day after civilised fighting back like the SOPA blackout it's too much to ask...
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I left a burner on today too! I NEVER do that. Weird.
I didn't leave a burner on, but yesterday morning I lit the burner under the dog bowl instead of the one under the tea kettle. Took smelling burning rubber to make me turn around and realize. OMG WTF BBQ KIBBLE.
I read every post, but sadly, that is all I got right now.

Been chatting with my nephew online.
He types better than my brother. And carries on a good convo!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Interesting.
CNET suggests that Anonymous was set up to increase executive powers over the net.
Conspiracy theory time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I suggest that CNET wrote that article to tell Anonymous to stop fucking shit up.

I'm going to call this theory: the Tommyrot Backdoor.

Cash, did you see this?
The DSM is being rewritten and there's a push to eliminate Asperger's from the definition of Autism.
Which would inevitably lead to a reduction of services for high-functioning kids.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I didn't see this until I noticed it on Yahoo News--a local high school board is refusing to allow Cougars as the school mascot because, I swear to God, it's "offensive to middle-aged women."
My high school mascot was a cougar.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The NY Times article about autism really bothered me -- it's an article about how the change will affect autistic people, but they didn't quote a single autistic person in the article. Quoted one mother of an adult with autism, but nothing from the people actually affected.

Good lord. I have a pretty radically low tolerance for smoke (pretty insta-headache), but TobaccoFreeCA (or something like that) just aired an ad that has a woman smoking on her balcony, and then the smoke went up one floor, in through the window, through the living room (ignoring the kid on the couch) to sneak into the baby's room and hover over its wide-eyed little face. Seriously? Malevolent smoke is hunting innocent American babies now? Turning left instead of right? I mean, at least give us in-building ventilation contamination, or something.
But I worry rational advertising doesn't work, that's why they don't do it.
