Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Consuela, I am glad that your trip is going so well!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I can't decide if Trump turned on Bannon or Bannon turned on Trump or if they simultaneously turned on each other or if something else entirely is going on

I vote (d) -- all of the above, and then some.

Suela, that sounds amazing!

Our wings are not tired.

Trump and Bannon sniping at each other is safer than Trump and Kim Jong-un sniping at each other. And more entertaining.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Yes—in the former fight, no matter who loses, we all win!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Why am I sitting silently in a 9AM conference call with 4 other people, waiting for someone else to join, when I could be working with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in the background?

Mute yourself and turn CexG on while you wait!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

In other, non-otter news, it's shrift's birthday today!

I do hope that shrift is having a wonderful birthday. It is my niece's birthday too. She is super fun and smart, so a good day for awesome women to be born.

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

Wow Consuela, that sounds awesome!

I am less clear on what to make of the Bannon-Trump bullshit, or this excerpt from Wolff's book. Droll satirical tone aside, it's depressing as fuck to contemplate.
