I'm at the tail end of a rough week, nearly at the end of a bus ride home in the blazing heat. What I really needed was a call from some arsehole scammer trying to get me to help him break into my mobile account.

Fair enough, but failing the investigation I would have thought it would come up when notifying next of kin. It was *that* basic.

And author fiat will be used to make him look vastly more competent than his colleagues.

I'm cheating. I watched it. Somehow, apparently, the police have gone four months without learning a very basic fact about a murder victim's family.

My best friend hid and watched her parents fill the stockings. She told me when we were 7 or 8.

Yeah, and if major changes are required to save humanity, we could make them without worrying about whether they will make enough money for people who already have three homes and at least one yacht! Who would want to live in that world?

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs.

A group that creative with a portal staff would be hilarious to play with.

All it needed was a dragon that *wasn't* a fat joke. Just saying.

And look at the expression in each one! The second is not the face of a man 'giving his heart' to anybody.

Set aside Musk's arm movement for a moment and look at his face. Seems plenty hateful to me.

Leaving aside that Freudian slip of a double negative, there's a difference between being criminally liable for a death and being responsible for one. He's now going to need to convince a civil court that his chokehold didn't play a part in Neely's death, and that's going to be harder.

I was listening to a tour guide tell this one in Reykjavik, and a (mostly) black cat just happened by at that moment.

Chucked off two buses in one evening over mechanical problems! That's a first, and I still need to make it home.
