I attended SFF cons as a teenager.

I stopped getting regularly and persistently sexually harassed at SFF cons sometime in college.

"Oh wow you look way older"

No the fuck I did not because when I WAS older these weirdos stopped.

They know what the hell they're doing.

So Pakistan is *paying* Qatar to *not* deliver LNG because even including this penalty payment their solar PV and battery spending is much better value for money and saves them billions.

How fascinating!

You know it's serious when they use the word "seemingly" to describe what happened for a bit of plausible deniability

Thinking today how homelessness runs through this story, through Epstein's (Virginia Guiffre had been homeless before meeting him), and even through Gaiman's (his nanny was sleeping on the beach when Palmer recruited her, and he used threats of homelessness against another victim).

Unless I hear them saying it publicly, what they say privately isn't worth squat.

Ventricular, relating to the ventricles of the heart.
Fibrillation: Fine, rapid twitching of individual muscle fibers with little or no movement of the muscle as a whole.

At the same time the New York Times was running nonstop stories on Hillary's email server, they were sitting on this emails (and photos of Trump with Epstein victims, apparently).

"Starter homes" only exist if you view houses as financial investments and nothing else

To everyone else they are just "homes"

One of these things is not like the others.

When IP devolves into nothing more than name recognition, this is what you get.
Haven't seen this show yet, but I suspect it could be promoted as an updated C Auguste Dupin, or a gritty, dark reimagining of Inspector Clouseau, and nothing would be lost.

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative | Euractiv The court will move its internal work environment to Open Desk, a German-developed open source software

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
