Well I always wanted a corner office, but as a millennial a 90 degree bedroom is as good as I'll ever get.

I call it a Fox's Wedding, but only because I watched Akira Kurosawa's "Dreams" at a formative age.

It's asking you to click on the smallest wave, innit? Because it's showing you a bunch of Micro-Waves?

Also your sketch of Angel is GORGEOUS. It might have been work but the result is amazing. [Qualifications: I look at a lot of pictures on the internet.]

I went through the exact same character arc last week. Damn that catchy music and wholesome subversion of expectations.

Look. Just because we ended up federating our commonwealths, doesn't mean I'm not going to make you squirm like Katrina Steiner.

My trio of fuzzy idiots are "Super Polydactyl Kitten Padme Allosaurus", "A Korra Borealis", and "Cyrus Alexander Grappling Hook " so yeah, your hypothesis has another accurate data point.

May I recommend "This is How You Lose The Time War" for an absolutely delightful time traveling lesbian romance epistolary novella?

I got to spend my night watching Game Changer, making out with one of my partners and talking about RPGs. It was a very good night.

I'm blazed as hell and the Notary Public Training Course is using talking animals with alliterative names and text to speech. The vibes are IMMACULATE.

And my icicle heart melted a little bit. I would cut off my right hand to look like Brittany Spears in Toxic. Also I looked nothing like her. Blanca is apparently blind. It made me smile though.

My boss Blanca yesterday goes: "Oh Cassie, I really like the school girl look." And I'm like "School girl?" "Yeah the like black skirt, the white undershirt and short cut polo? Oh and your hair in a messy bun like that? You look like Brittany Spears in Toxic"

Every once in a while I remember how much I love Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. This past time I went to listen to the most recent episode and Peter Sagel was off that week, they had a guest host but didn't announce it and I had this horrified "IS HE DEAD?!" moment.

You know, the tragedy was that the absolute thrashing you gave my poor Wolverine put us on essentially even footing at three functional mechs apiece. I just got abysmally lucky.

I'd second Audiobooks of the Ciaphas Cain series. It's a level of light heartedness you don't often get in 40k.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I've been socially transitioned, but on and off Skittles as money allows for 6 years now. I've never regretted my choice to be true to myself, even when it has cost me family and friends. So pour one out for all my fellow Dong Darlings. You're all my family now.

All the Philo 101 students are giggling and/or groaning, because they are all familiar with the philosophical proposition: "Cogito Ergo Sum" or "I think, therefore, I am." I could have lead with the maxim, but of course that would be putting Descartes before the Horse.

It's Wednesday, and a horse walks into a bar for the fourth time that week. The Bartender squints and goes "Hey buddy, you're in here all the time, you aren't an alcoholic are you?" The horse goes "I think not." and then: Poof. It vanishes in a puff of logic.

On the one hand: I love all of these. On the other hand: you're at 666 likes, and though I know what I must do, I don't know if I have the strength to do it.

So with a casual, 'All Right Boys, For England' he sends his men through the exact same pass as Thutty Boy took all those years ago. History isn't a circle, but it sure does rhyme, and he captured the city and took several hundred German and Turkish soldiers prisoner without losing a man.

Then, like 3,400 years later, during WW1, General Edmund Allenby was faced with the exact same issue. He needed to capture Megiddo and there were three paths. Eddie, though was something of a historian himself and had read about Threetmose's wild ride.
