People who "read" "feeds" (sounds disgusting) doubtless already knew, but I have to "click" on "links" when I'm not doing that even more profane thing, "entering" a "URL".

Heck, even the ToS is back over there already.

I remember that you were convinced that EotAW was Unfogged 2.0, so I imagine that you're particularly glad to see it back up.

I'll be in NYC for a few days next month, with an evening free on Saturday the 19th. Anybody up for a meetup, either in Midtown or at the perennial standby of Fresh Salt?

First they ignore the McRib, then they make fun of the McRib. Then they attack you with McRibs, and finally they build McRibuments, and only then can they ignore EotAW.

The first half of the new post at HaaH is actually kind of stunningly well done. The second half feels contrived.

Yikes. HaaH has convincingly described mania in the past, and this is a pretty well-done depression. Hope she gets better or gets help....

The depression was just a little *too* well done, in that it was really kind of depressing. (The second half, yeah, if only.)

The depression was done well. (How weird is it to say that?) But the second half made me think mania. I hope she is OK.

Who or what is ToS? Every time I see it mentioned, I think "Terms of Service", as in the clickthrough agreement that nobody reads. But presumably, you are referencing something else, right?

A persistent troll (the "Troll of Sorrow") who hangs around here. If you see a peculiar/insane/antisemitic comment that gets deleted or edited into something dumb from Pauly Shore, that's him.

53 is a lie. Clickthrough agreements have become sentient, and are angry that no one reads them. Right now they're lashing out by leaving abusing comments, but it's only a matter of time before they figure out the launch codes for the missiles.

The weekend before is no good for me. Which no one cares about, so fine. But it's also no good for Fleur, so factor that into your deliberations.
