I do worldbuilding as a mental exercise with my children to pass the time in car trips. We've been developing a class-M planet we called Saphira. So far we're at Landing + 20 T years.

That's pretty much the coolest.

Whatever it takes to keep 'em interested in things that aren't television.

Watching Hawthorne Hawks fuck up Port Adelaide's day.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Catters playing in beautiful conditions down in Geelong. Amazed the ground isn't underwater.

Also loving the work of the crow sitting next to the effects mic at the ground. True story: the two totems of Aboriginal people around the Geelong area are the eagle and crow, the later being know as the 'carrrrr'.

So this is how the mutation spreads. It's not necessarily genetic, they indoctrinate their young. Fascinating.

You made me a solid Geelong fan, Jester. Don't you worry.

lol facebook ad again: "WOMEN on Facebook"

capitalization just like that in the original

I just agreed to pay $700 for a pair of floor seats to the JAY Z/Justin Timberlake concert in Vancouver. Either I take three days and drive out day before, day after, which would knock TWR out of the week, or I fly out day of and fly back morning after, knocking out afternoon Wednesday, and Thursday. And if I'm flying that's another grand in flights, probably.

Probably worth it. I should probably get on this job sooner than later then.

$433 for a round trip, giving me most of a day to visit family/see Vancouver too. x2 of course.

And if my sister doesn't want to go/can't, the other person off the top of my head that I'd ask, would probably not pay for a flight out, even if I convinced her to let me pay for her concert ticket. Because that's reasonable, if you want to see a show and don't want to go alone, I feel. But I ain't paying flights too.

It is a very sad day indeed when the SpaceBattles forums loaded faster than fucking Facebook.

So... anyone want to go people hunting in Florida and claim that we're standing our ground?

Only a valid defense if you end up killing people of colour, so I don't think it'd really help anything here.

As a rational watcher of the news I know that the people most likely to shoot me in Florida are white.

So I think we could shoot white folks

If going by statistics were what mattered then women firing warning shots in self defense against their partners wouldn't be sent to jail and black men wouldn't be imprisoned for shooting white people trying to break into their houses to murder their sons

ugh I don't think I can keep up the irony here I'm just disgusted

Nigger hunting and sundown towns still alive and kicking in the south.

I didn't really follow the case, but that's still a surprising verdict based on the summary.

Dude, the prosecution was the definition of incompetance.

It was still an open and shut case based on the 911 calls alone. Zimmerman (who has a history of phoning in young black men for merely passing through his neighbourhood) profiled Martin, pursued him, confronted him, then murdered him. It's as simple as that.

Don't piss in my corn flakes, I don't approve of the verdict but I can't do anything about it except get angry.

Reasonable doubt was always on the table given the circumstances and the prosecution failing to keep it's own witnesses in line and get a solid narrative sold to the jury means no one should be surprised by this verdict.
