Monday: I wish I knew what I did to my ankle.

Somehow "sitting in a lunch seminar" was too much, and now it's all broken.  I probably just sat on it wrong, and pulled something.

Sightings?  Is it so empty by work that it's switched back to sightings there?

Julie sent me some data for something, so I can confirm that I do have a good idea of what it covers.

In my head, these were all angled the other way, but yeah, this is basically the picture I had.  Cool.  And it's reasonably linear, so it's not like needing to fit a ninth order polynomial or something.

• Republicans are horrible, and I can't even begin to sort out the logic of "we have to cut funds to bring down the debt for future generations" while simultaneously adding 700 billion dollars in military spending and probably the same in the "tax cuts" they want.  I'm pretty sure future generations want "parents to not die" and "not having crippling personal debt" and "the belief that the government is sane and works to help them."  Plus, we can borrow in our own currency at rates less than inflation.  We can borrow infinity dollars, and no one can stop us.
• I saw this tweet today, and was hit with a revelation that not everything is terrible.  You can go to Zingermann's, you can go to order your sandwich, and if it isn't on the menu because they've retired it, they will still make it if they can.  I could go, say, "I know it's not on the menu, but I really want a #67, 'Jon and Amy's Double Dip'.  I have the old menu, if that helps," and get the best sandwich ever invented.
• My opinion of Whedon has pretty much plummeted over the past year, mostly due to the allegations against him.  Things like this don't help, though.  Batgirl doesn't have to have "damage" to go be a superhero.  Her dad is the police commissioner.  She's lived the life watching him try to hold together the city, despite corruption in the cops, and with all the crap that happens.  She's lived a life watching a normal man step up and decide he isn't going to let things get worse.  Sure, Bruce is clearly damaged, but he has a mission, and that is the best therapy for him.  Barbara doesn't need that.  She has icons in her life that show that good prevails.  Plus, I'm pretty sure when Dick showed up, she was just, "oh, yeah, no, I'm not going to be left behind by some damn kid.  Fuck that."  And she's friends with Kara, and I refuse to believe any story in which Kara isn't an absolute delight.  Bruce would clearly let himself be pounded to a pulp before asking Clark for help.  Barbara isn't stupid, so I can see her being more than happy to Team-Up all over Penguin's face.
• I reblogged this on tumblr, but it showed up here, and thought it was a good version of Harley and Ivy, their dynamic with Joker, and the rest of those jerks.  I could totally see this, and getting to the end and seeing "Paul Dini Writer" made a lot of sense.  Why don't they have him write the DC movie stuff?
