This. I can’t stop laughing.
Bears. No longer content just to shit in the woods.

He misses me. I think.
This is obviously a “Dad’s not home” tantrum.
We are definitely moving from the “gentle taps on my innards like a goldfish in a plastic bag” end of the spectrum to something thrashier/squirmier. I expect by the end of this we’re gonna be full-on “angry cat in a sack.”
The next 18.5 weeks are gonna be fuuuuuun.
Scalzi on the Kindle Worlds thing. Not being a consumer of fanfic, I don’t really have an opinion on what it would do to fanfic culture, but he does sum up pretty neatly why this seems to be not a very good deal for fic writers. “Better than the previous lack-of-deal” does not, after all, mean it is good.
Va. father says he was suspected of kidnapping his kids by Walmart - FOX 5 WTTG
White guy seen at Walmart with two biracial girls has a police officer knock on his door because a Walmart customer or security guard (it’s not clear which) thought it was suspicious that the kids’ skin tones didn’t match that of the guy they were with.
This happened in Woodbridge, VA, which, while definitely one of the far suburbs, is still part of the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area. So it’s not like this happened in one of the parts of Virginia that’s still got the Confederate flag on its municipal signage.
Who is this person who, this close to a major city, doesn’t see interracial couples or transracial adoptions often enough that their first thought was “kidnapping?” Their mind would be blown by the number of dudes I saw pushing children-of-races-other-than-their-own in strollers in Bloomingdale this weekend.

It’s always the rogue’s fault.
