Can they just skip to the step where they start eating each other and leave the rest of us alone?

Oh, leather is absolutely a thing.

But it’s a subculture of a subculture.

It’s like saying, “Why don’t we call all car drivers Tesla Enthusiasts? Because they seem to like them very much.”

What is happening in the third panel?

Every day I don’t give 110 percent in exchange for… the same amount of paycheck.

Because it’s not about the leather.

Not a show, but a book and a movie adaptation: Interview with A Vampire is actually about Anne Rice’s daughter.

I was a sad, broken and despairing atheist when I wrote ‘Interview with the Vampire’ [in 1973, after the death of her daughter from leukaemia]. I pitched myself into writing and made up a story about vampires. I didn’t know it at the time but it was all about my daughter, the loss of her and the need to go on living when faith is shattered. But the lights do come back on, no matter how dark it seems, and I’m sensitive now, more than ever, to the beauty of the world – and more resigned to living with cosmic uncertainty.

Vampires are the best metaphor for the human condition Here you have a monster with a soul that’s immortal, yet in a biological body. It’s a metaphor for us, as it’s very difficult to realise that we are going to die, and day to day we have to think and move as though we are immortal. A vampire like Lestat in Interview… is perfect for that because he transcends time – yet he can be destroyed, go mad and suffer; it’s intensely about the human dilemma.

You did it!

That’s cold.

OP’s like It’s only tragic if we were banging.

They’d use that money to turn it back into twitter.

Yes. They technically are.

That would be useful. I’ll look for it.

Yea, the teeth bit was mean spirited and unnecessary.

I don’t mind sass from leadership. It’s leagues better than sanitized corpo-speak.

Sass doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive from professionalism, but it is a fine line to walk.

I disagree, but that may be because I’m used to how Tantacrul videos go.

He’s usually sassy like this, and the Weaver Beats video was made in bad faith.

I expect class from Idris Elba, not from the guy running a contentious open source project.

If anything, this is the upper end of what I expect from open source leadership.

Whose response are you talking about here?

Ah, then she wouldn’t have one.

I asked if it was literally true (as in proven, documented, a known fact).

Not if he was very probably, highly likely, the most suspicious ever, the first person you would point at if anyone asked who in this room fucked someone underage.

Yes, he should be behind bars and investigated.

No, as far as we know, it’s not literally true. (Probably true, though.)

I’m guessing… Pixar movie?

Hard to tell without seeing her dumpy.

I want to be a fly in the wall for that conversation.

A fly with a bucket of popcorn.

It’s manually identifying the timestamps that’s tedious.
