yamamanamaI’ve been dreaming about Ashley and atonement a lot. The weird thing about the latest Ashley dream is that Jacob was in it. Except for last night, when I dreamt that the Magellanic Confederacy was conquering more worlds and they were outright targeting people of less genetic purity so that they could use them as forced laborers. And I went to this planet covered in tall trees, steep granite cliffs, overgrown plateaus, and clear blue skies, and I found a red dragon trapped under a pile of broken stones, and I went inside a cave, finding more dragons and soldiers in black and gold uniforms. I tried to fight them off with rocket propelled grenades but ran out of them and used a stream of liquid fire.
We have a parula, which is a type of New World warbler that once belonged to its own genus and was once classified as a tit (Parus means tit and parula means little tit), and two ovenbirds, which are also warblers, but of a less bold coloration. We had a whippoorwill, which, in legends, are capable of sensing departing souls and can capture them before they go into the Chaos. Alas, his soul has joined the Chaos too. Our seagull flew majestically off into the sunset. We had jellybean-sized baby mice and I'm not sure what happened. We have a few baby wood ducks and a baby hooded merganser.
I’m not a hawk but I’d imagine bunnies are very delicious and very easy to catch and the bunnies’ defense against this is to have as many babies as they possibly can in the hopes that a few of them make it to adulthood.
The batch of aggies include Victoria, Kiki, Emma, and yet another Emily. The new interns include Margaret and Sara.
Sara is a vegan, was eating a salad with pico de gallo salsa, chopped cauliflower, soyburgers, and sprouts, and had a bunny named Harvey, after a James Stewart film.
Taylor was eating chickpeas and a curry.
Christina, who has an English accent, has a hierarchy of mammals, with chipmunks at the bottom and opossums at the top.
Primrose ate a packing peanut. Not an ordinary styrofoam packing peanut but one made from potato starch. They aren’t the most sanitary things and they’re not anything you could live off of but they aren’t toxic.
Lucy squirted chick juice on herself.
Turkey isn’t just infamous for their knockoff movies, they’re also infamous for the Starswar action figures, which include a blue snowtrooper called Blue Stars, Chewbacca is called Aslan Adam (which means Lionman and is also the name of a rather bad Turkish fantasy movie) and he’s standing amongst aquarium plants, Head Man is a royal guard with a silver helmet and black armor and he has a sword and shield, the Imperial Gunner is depicted with a calculator as his console.
Starbucks has public restrooms now so I'm actually going to try to work out where every Starbucks in Boston is. Also bagels but Taylor says they aren't that good. Speaking of bagels, some people apparently think our animals want to eat bagels so they sent us a box of them. I cut my finger slicing one. Worth it. I also tried to play Knifey-Spooney with a spatula.
Michael was trying to imagine a Starbucks in Plymouth Plantation in which the baristas are dressed in period clothing.

Xenoblade has some awkward controls and I feel like there’s a memo somewhere that says “use every button on the controller OR ELSE!” and they meant classic controller, not wiimote and nunchuck.
Michael says a lot of Wii games have that problem and is reminded of that line from Jurassic Park about always thinking about whether you can do something and not stopping to think about whether you should.
It’s also really ambitious for a Wii game and I suspect that the reduced resolution was necessary for the game to run properly. Unfortunately, that results in the text being stretched out and for a game that requires a lot of reading, that’s no good.
I said that they’re giving up on their war on gay marraige but on the other hand, Pajamas Media and Jordan Peterson are the forefront of an even more primitive struggle: a war between the sexes. “Enforced Monogamy” or in other words, forcing single women to date and even have sex with people who venerate Elliot Rodger.
I think the best way to prevent school shootings is to keep the right to bear arms but only arms around in 1791. Which means if someone tried to shoot up a school or office, they could just activate the sprinklers and if that doesn’t work, everyone'd be long gone by the time the shooter loaded the musket.
Wheellocks were functional but too expensive to arm anyone but officers. Matchlocks were cheap enough to outfit entire armies with, and on the bright side, they could double as clubs when it drizzled.
I think that Tulsi Gabbard is a Democratic Populist and Maduro is a Demagogic Populist and Trump is a demagogic right-wing populist.
burning question: so is Jordan Peterson’s book The Secret for people who claim everything they do is governed by “logic?”
