Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I'm feeling a little stir crazy today, but I don't actually have the energy to take ltc out.

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

Yeah, I donated to CAIR. It seems like a better option than paralyzing despair.

I'm also wildly angry about the SCOTUS rulings, so I'm trying to channel that into ruthless efficiency at work.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I voted in the MD primary before I went to work.

Shrift - sorry for your sad news.

Random: there is a giant black cloud heading over DeKalb right now. I hope some of this weather clears out before I leave work tonight. (I already got soaked on my way over!)

Also: heard that the senior staff at my old office have left. . . timing suggests that the university did not renew their contracts. The only staff left are civil servants. Is it wrong for me to feel gleeful?

My cubicle neighbor got a new set of headphones that are apparently Very Nice. All day guys have stopped by and gone ooo and ahh and geeked out over specs and the deal he got. I told them they were acting like girls over shoes. They weren't amused.

I voted this morning. Saw a lt.guv candidate outside & wished them luck (I wouldn't object to them.) Flat out told Mosby volunteers to not waste their efforts on me.

And my tweaked neck is still tweaked & playing with my stress back and it is seriously uncomfortable. Foam roller plus no pillows tonight.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

shrift I am so sorry.

KARL! I'm so glad you're ok. scary.

lisa - that does not sound relaxing. I've been stung by scorpions 5 times, I am not a fan.

I am trying not to spiral into despair because of the world. it's a lot of suck right now.

It's discouraging. And you know...it was only in 2015 when the White House got lit up in Pride colors to celebrate gay marriage. So I have to hold on to that because my faith is stretched very thin right now.

Well, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is 28 and a member of the DSA, won the Democratic primary in Queens today. Beat a ten-term congressman who was seen as Pelosi's heir. This is... encouraging.

And a federal court just struck down family separation.
