“Moist Southern Gothic”

Mycroft!

“...obscene yummy noises...”

Saw that in a novel I am reading right now but am having serious problems picturing it. The author is having a weird time describing someone’s hallucinations.

Failure to comply with discovery in a libel case when you’re the plaintiff and the defendant asserts a truth defense is just plain stupid. No matter how much you think you are self-evidently right you still need to comply with a judge’s orders. Losing like this in a libel-friendly jurisdiction like BC indicates a huge problem.

@tedu If I type the wrong database search key in by accident when running a search at work it winds up being a federal felony prosecution. It becomes an IG investigation even if I am accidentally off by a single digit. Consolidating and reducing the number of federal crimes on the books is increasingly essential.

I suspect the US Attorney will decide to not prosecute. The IG statutes and the breadth of federal crimes are just too broad. This is another example.

@lnxw48a1 I talked to my Chief Steward yesterday. Apparently I'm either going to be out of work as of 1730 ET Friday without recourse until January or there is a second mystery option that is apparently only known by a few SES folks at national command in Atlanta. The SES people are playing their cards so close that about 90 of us at my POD are in financial tension now.

People would be going to jail in the private sector doing crap like this.

The Now with...Anomaly

@lnxw48a1 @moonman Latrina? If I were even authorized to search IMF/CADE2 for that I’m not sure I’d be happy with any number of positive matches.
