Oh dear. My doctors say my extreme weight loss due to chronic norovirus since January is now very dangerous and needs urgent clinical intervention for severe malnutrition. I am to be admitted to hospital for full IV nutrition "early next week". Obviously, I am upset by this dire medical situation.

Y'all denied her tenure

I’ve seen several friends by this point wrap themselves around to a “actually public live-streaming of executions is good” position from the left and like, man, I promise you, you don’t need to overthink this so much. It’s plain and simple barbarism and it’s bad.

Got to roll up that unwieldy big tail!! Urgh.

Adapted: In the early hours of October 2, ET, we discovered clear evidence that we were experiencing a malicious intrusion. I initiated an immediate shutdown of the platform, a rotation of all of our access keys, and a revocation of our CILogon authorization keys.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I spoke with a very nice man at Motability yesterday, who promised that they would not take away my wheelchair. Apparently, the dealership should not have just, in the first instance, immediately called me to tell me my contract was terminated.

The basis on which they used to found their racism was that only 'barbaric' countries, like Iran, would do something as callous as a public execution. Now it's just back to the law of the wolf. Just like 'do war crimes', this is disgusting. (Whether it will happen is another matter.)

Thanks, Melissa. I've actually had some really good news on this. Hopefully have some time to write a post or two about it later, but suffice to say, it looks like they will not take away my wheels!
