Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

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.

So, on twitter, someone I follow retweeted some of his followers' comments about how "the earth isn't moving" and that anyone who believes the earth moves is getting lied to.

Damn that duplicitous Carole King.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It costs me $50 to fill my tank every 2 weeks.

Yeah, I wouldn't take enough home from working on Sundays to cover my gas expense in general, probably, but the marginal cost of just that additional driving wouldn't completely eat up my earnings. I just figured it out, and given if the job is more than about 20 miles away from me the company provides carpooling, I only have to work for about 40 minutes to break even on gas. And I get paid for a minimum of 2 hrs for every job I'm scheduled for. So that's all right.

What I learned in business school, ladies and gentlemen.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Typo,

OMG, that is super cray cray. The page with the "different Georges" is going to keep me up at night.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Bastard burglars! They took my BIL's very best saxophone, which he bought with the money his mother left him. Assholes.

And his wedding ring.

To be fair, he's more upset about the sax.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Do they touch on Paul Is Dead? They had damn well better not leave out Paul Is Dead.

I can't tell if that's parody or real. Like so many places on the Internet.

I suppose you could say the earth isn't moving if you are in the proper frame of reference, but I doubt that's the point they are trying to make.

I'm sorry, Consuela.

So I just reached out to my alma mater's head of IT. Because I was her nanny back before she was that, and she's good people. I want to hook Taylor up with her if she goes there. Cause then she'll have a local surrogate mom.

I'm waiting for the Ken Lay is on and Island With Stacked Blondes site.

I mean, c'mon... even if you don't think that one was a conspiracy would ANYONE on EARTH be surprised if they found out it was?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh my god.

I think I have more, but I'm in a state of wonder. Not the good Ann Patchett kind, but the completely bemused sort.

My cough has diminished, but not enough to let me sleep through the night. As a result, I keep doing stupid things -- today's stupidity? I left my wallet on my desk at work. So I picked Noah up, drove back to get my stupid wallet and then back home. Sigh.

Grace has initiated eating actual food for the past two days. She signs eat and then opens here mouth to indicated she wants to eat by mouth not by tube. Granted, in each instance, she eats exactly one cheese puff, which is the only non-pureed food she can manage. It's a start right?
