"Mr Edgelord Alpha Spike 7878" - from a still from some TV show, some guy is saying this in the scene. A lady is looking at the guy, she looks very impressed. I don't know what the show is but it must be very good.

I've found it kind of a pain to work with resources like VerbNet, FrameNet, PropBank (frame files), and WordNet using existing tools. Maybe you have too. Here's a little package that handles data management, loading, and cross-referencing via either a CLI or a python API.

doesn't mean there aren't a lot of arseholes still. and it's dark outside for 4 straight months and the weather is, of course, shite as a rule. but food is getting much better (thanks in no small part to foreign students, thank you chinese students), & when the sun *does* come out it's incomparable.
