I'm still hoping that Thomas resigns soon due to ethics/conflict of interest violations.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I see no indication that he possesses the ability to be shamed into anything. And in the run-up to the election, nobody's going to try to make him.
I'm still reading the Prop 8 decision, but I'm intrigued that the judges have based their decision on the narrowest-possible argument: that Prop 8 took away a fundamental right from gay couples, even if they only had the right for 143 days.
The usefulness of this narrow decision is that if it gets overturned after a hearing en banc, or at the Supreme Court, it won't be a death blow to the fight for marriage equality nationwide. The sequence of events in California is so tortured that one might be able to distinguish any ruling associated with Prop 8.

I'm hoping he dies of a motherfucking heart attack. Just ascend descend already.
That's right, I'll take joyous satisfaction in his demise. That's my evil right there.

I have a British friend (she grew up in Yorkshire) who has stated publicly she will dance on Maggie Thatcher's grave.
... I'm afraid to ask her what she thinks of Iron Lady.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am actually at the point of wanting to run away and cry. I'm topped out for the day. Last straw has been achieved. I know everyone thinks it's copacetic to tease me (my phone is busted), but it's not. Not right now.

I got a trailer for The Iron Lady last night. (Dubbed into German: now that was weird). I whispered to my friend: "I lived through it, I certainly don't want to sit through it again".
This just about sums it up:

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

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