  1. WARNING: Politics and bad language… but I was provoked (on the bad language). I make no excuse for my politics.

    Hahaha...

    The Speaker of the House of Commons in the UK (John Bercow), has said this about the possibility of Trump talking to MPs:

    “We value our relationship with the United States. If a state visit takes place, that is way beyond and above the pay grade of The Speaker. However, as far as this place is concerned, I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism, and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.”

    So basically he’s said: hey, let’s not.

    Unlike the BBC, I don’t think I need to include the idiot comments (who shall remain unnamed), being as he is a complete and utter **** who used £4000 of public money to keep his fucking stables warm… FFS. But he’s not happy… bizzare! He’s like one of those minority members of UKIP, who you just think… what the hell are you doing there? Get out you imbecile! But then for some people greed trumps everything (so to speak) – even victimisation of your own ethnicity, since he was born in Iraq and so has been unable to enter the US for the best part of a week. What a moron!

  2. Latest sign that I’m too often using my phone to write porn: The first suggestion after I type “big” is “melons.”

  3. Love this quote, lemme paraphrase.  “In the latest cabinet appointment, Dr. Hannibal Lecter will be Director of Health and Human Services.”

  4. So, my work schedule appears to finally normalizing.  We’ll see how long that lasts.

    Agenda for today:

    Upgrade the forum
    catch up on self admitted minors
    hunt other minors
    continue the finalization of character set conversion in buffy, where I’m working

  7. WARNING: Personal politics ahead...

    So the petition against Trump making a state visit now has over 1.5m signatures. For context, the UK has a population of about 52m people who are over the age of fourteen.

    This evening, I was off out protesting in Sheffield. For such short notice there were a lot of people, so many we closed the main road in front of the town all. At one point I was out on the edges, when a woman asked me what it was about, since she had just finished work. I told her; so she joined in.

    Of all the slogans I heard chanted tonight, “Trump – better out than in!” is probably my favourite. Followed closely by the “Theresa the appeaser!” mentions from the speakers.

    Also memorable is the moment when a girl stood up in front of the microphone and declared: “I am a muslim woman! And an activist!” to rapturous applause.

    I’ve got to admit, I have (especially in my younger years) participated in many anti-racist and anti-fascist protests, marches and rallies, but this is the first where I felt protest and civic duty really merged together into one.

  9. I’m back… again.  But it’ll take a bit of time to work out if everything truly is running normally again.

  10. Is anyone else, like me, looking at the news in sheer unbelieving horror?

    Or has everyone taken the route of sanity and turned it off?

    Refugees denied, families seperated, US residents denied entry… suddenly that TV section from the newspaper about the inauguration doesn’t seem as funny.

    And I swear everyone around him.. you can see in their eyes that they know he’s completely and utterly insane. They just haven’t got a clue what to do about it.

    This is some really, really bad shit… :( and terrifying.

  14. Wow, just pulled off an old copy of my potter fanfic from a backup CD burned in early 2004.  (It’s actually one I was looking for, because I was a wee bit overzealous in subsequent edits.)

  15. And I’m back in action again.

  16. All I know is that rain is the most appropriate thing to happen today...

  17. I have put a ban on any channel that might show the orange menace’s face for the entire weekend. I’m going to pretend the world stopped on the 19th and live in my little bubble until it pops, until then I will be watching a marathon of cartoons with the kids. That is all.

  18. My C drive is failing so I’m going to be offline for a bit until everything is sorted.  Computers, I have a great love/bitter hatred affair with them!

  21. I hate it when I get soda into my computer, this sucks.

  22. I hate it when I get soda into my computer, this sucks.

  23. I am building a small solar-powered toy robot. 

    At this point, I’m assuming the “educational” aspect of this toy for children is the eighty page assembly booklet, in Chinese.

     

  24. Comfort and Joy” is finally done! And only 8 days after Christmas. :)

  25. One is supposed to stay up *until* midnight for New Years.  Instead, I wake up, my mind’s wired on my story, and I can’t get back to sleep.  Oh well, I don’t have to work tomorrow either, so may as well get some writing in.
