Your Honor, I had once assumed that acquaintance, if not affection, might at least secure against judicial treachery of the more flamboyant variety. I was mistaken. As poets and smugglers have long known. Or, to put it with greater economy, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. #appellatesky

I had imagined acquaintance might purchase at least a modest stay against treachery. Evidently not. Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

If the Solicitor General is to be called General—when really Solicitors General are Solicitors, not Generals— I think it only appropriate that we henceforth refer to any Associate Justice as Associate.

Discworld QOTD, from The Light Fantastic

In fact, the hero even at this moment galloping toward the Vortex Plains didn't get involved in this kind of argument, because they didn't take it seriously but mainly because this particular hero was a heroine. A redheaded one.

Now, there is a tendency at a point like this to look over one's shoulder at the cover artist and start going on at length about leather, thighboots and naked blades.

Words like "full," "round" and even "pert" creep into the narrative, until the writer has to go and have a cold shower and a lie down.

Which is all rather silly, because any woman setting out to make a living by the sword isn't about to go around looking like something off the cover of the more advanced kind of lingerie catalogue for the specialized buyer.

Oh well, all right. The point that must be made is that although Herrena the Henna-Haired Harridan would look quite stunning after a good bath, a heavy-duty manicure, and the pick of the leather racks in Woo Hun Ling's Oriental Exotica and Martial Aids on Heroes Street, she was currently quite sensibly dressed in light chain mail, soft boots, and a short sword.

All right, maybe the boots were leather. But not black.

Riding with her were a number of swarthy men that will certainly be killed before too long anyway, so a description is probably not essential. There was absolutely nothing pert about any of them.

Look, they can wear leather if you like.

How come every damn flight is “completely full” every dsy, and asks for volunteers to check bags. Having done that for American Airlines, being bounced around for months, and then denied compensation for a “late claim” (as soon as their people would process it… nope.)

Raffi, I’m truly sorry. I was honored to meet your father at SCOTUS; his warmth and pride in you were unmistakable. In the Muslim tradition, we say, “From God we come and to Him we return.” Wishing you and your family strength and gentle days ahead.

Ah #AI tells me that speech about Muslim issues (not anti-Muslim bigotry… Muslim issues in general) is considered “high risk” and runs into “guardrails” that don’t affect other groups. With this approach, the future will be interesting. #ChatGPT
