Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

Live your life in a way so that people's reaction when you kick the bucket isn't "I'm glad he's gone, the evil old fuck."

Totally. Or Moms Mableys thing about only saying good things about dead people. "He's dead." (pause) "Good."

def seconding the emotion about, say, Cheney's ghost going, to say, Jeff Bezos' house. I can be festive! Just, usually not like other people.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My assumption is that his employment contracts wouldn’t allow for peaceful rest over something as trivial as dying. (See Lilah as an example.) It’s probably just a lateral move to a different department.

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

seconding the emotion about, say, Cheney's ghost going, to say, Jeff Bezos' house.

Ironically, I brought Cheney up in our weekly team meeting today (celeb deaths usually lead to more people buying books about them/by them) and nobody knew what I was talking about. So hooray, we've all lived long enough to make Dick Cheney completely irrelevant. Good work everyone!

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

Ha, that’s awesome!

Today is our pre-outlet sale employee extra 10% off already low low prices sale. I intended to just walk through and get nothing. That did not work out. In my defense, when I asked the fam if anyone wanted anything over the weekend no one answered, but when I sent pics today I got takers

WFH the rest of the day (because I forgot to bring my laptop charger with me so I ran out of juice during a zoom call...)which is pleasant but I just remembered that I left the eggnog I impulse bought this morning in the fridge at the office I don't normally go to. I think I can swing by and get it on Thursday...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I have voted on the sole issue on the ballot, Yes on Fuck You Texas, We Can Gerrymander Too.

I got the most befuddled old poll worker dude who was really having a tough time with alphabetizing, which is tricky since that's 98% of his job.

You can register to vote at the polling place and a number of people were doing that, so (a) that's good sign indicating robust turnout on a single issue vote, and (b) the large number of provisional ballots is probably going to come up after Kristi Noemi's assertion that voting in California is rigged. "It's a fact!" she declared, offering zero evidence.

I don't expect the vote to be close though, as the GOP stopped all their ad campaign after they saw the numbers last week.

I'm sure that my keeping that campaign in post-its made all the difference. (mockingly tips hat to self)
