You don't need a chimney! The natural goodness of woodsmoke will enhance your family's resistance to vapours, chilblains and pollywogs.

Magician produces an isolinear chip from behind Klingon's ear.
Klingon: "By the Shadow of Praxis! Such dexterity, such cunning. You shall be my Chad'Ich from this day until the suns swallow the Homeworld!"
Cue a new Trek series that's half Suits, half Legally Blonde

I didn't know it was an anthology series and wondered why there were so many Japanese names in the cast for season two - maybe they posited an ahistorical leg reaching Japan?
But, no, separate and unrelated seasons, and there is a 1 minute sequence w/ George Takei in S2 that is absolutely stunning

When does D'rone's podcast launch?
What happens if he signs with EarWolf?
What if he, ugh, pods about Star Wars? I assume a 20+ year estrangement a la Riker and his dad?

Yeah. It stinks. I just stuck our last frozen pizza in the oven. Soon I won’t be able to feed her the crusts and convince myself I didn’t eat a whole pizza by myself.

The it’ll just be me and Billy adjusting to being a one-dog household.
Billy’s got separation anxiety but I work from home mostly, so we’ll see.
Gotta go grab some last pats now.
