Microsoft is not the company it was ten years ago. This is good for us all.

Alex Danvers. You are one, maybe two seasons from getting a side cut. #supergirl

ARG. Lena. When you figure it out, it will feel like getting hit by a truck. #supergirl

OMFG Lena!

Lena...

Lena. You have a pattern. Around attachment. It's telling me a lot, and I think you'll be a happier person if you recognize it for yourself. #supergirl

@jaycie The topic came up in a discussion on speculative romance.

"Consentacles"

There is a US Federal standard used by all of our security agencies for sharing data. And not just US agencies, at least the UK has a compatible code for handling law-enforcement cooperation. I has a some *highly regrettable wording* in the SEX field. Here is how you can help. #Trans

@grainloom @onf Quoth an old CompSci teacher some 25 or so years ago:

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Yugo full of backup-tapes."

@noelle And is my favorite burger-cheese!

Neighborhood party went well. It was sadly as white as expected. And we were the only non-het couple there. But no problems with us being there.

"Glorious day to be outside" says the cat.

@brainwane See you there!

A neighbor has declared a party because they've been here 9 years and know just about no one. I'm going. I hope we're not the only non-het couple there. The odds are against it, but not impossible.

This is an interview of what I'd consider an old-school conservative, one who wants to argue policy and focus rather than scapegoating.
