Ha!
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(And the Random Quote Generator gave me "Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.")
I feel like I am the only person who ever goes there. The BRQG is how I found us. It's comforting.
Trudy, that is a lot. I'm glad your mommy is safe. I'm sorry about your stepmom. She was around for a lot.
She’s never met ltc in person
Such a fun thing. I remember T well from meeting her once. Good person

LA is a decent model for how to cause good trouble without getting disappeared.

The grocery list for this week has a lot of soft foods on it, so Tim's side effects from the radiation are starting to ramp up. It feels weird. Welcome to Smoothieton Manor.

I am going to be part of a research team to help phone banks be more effective. So I had to hit the ground running today, as it were. (maybe I will pretend all my calling is placebo from now on...it makes it more chill. Also, weekends are slower, which some folks hate, but suits my needs just fine.) Placebo doesn't mean completely fake, though--we signed up some folks to a local helpline, so that's probably good.

That’s a good idea, erikaj. I always wondered how they scripted those, so effectiveness tweaking makes sense.

Thanks, Calli, it reminds me of those articles that used to be in Nerve, "I Did It For Science" except without the sensuality.

Uuugh. I lost my AirPods at an event in August. I asked them shortly after and they were like yeah someone turned them in and I was like amazing I will pay to FedEx them. And they said no worries we will send them. And I asked when and they were like soon. And I said I’m out of town when are they arriving so I can have my neighbor grab them so they aren’t stolen off my porch. And they said we will ask the guy for a tracking number. And never heard anything. I finally get home today and there’s an empty regular mail envelope and a “sorry there was an issue” sticker from USPS. They stuck it in an envelope with three stamps on it. wtf. I was like y’all I would’ve paid to FedEx it and would’ve happily paid someone for their time to do so….ARGH.

How early is too early to go to bed? Asking for me, a very jet-lagged person

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
In my experience, sleep is the best remedy for jet lag.
