Iran, so far away

D4rw1n: Views from my office window today

I estimate about 1200 protesters marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Super well organized. Somebody spent tens of thousands of dollars on flags and uniforms. There are multiple speaker trucks with high-quality loudspeakers broadcasting very clear talking points on regime change in Iran. The chant of the crowd is "what do we want? Regime change in Iran. When do we want it? Now"

b1-66er: Whoa.
Great TXT thread.  I love important at-the-moment updates from you and your city.

D: Thought you'd like it. This would be unremarkable but for the high level of organization. Marchers coming down this street (2000 block of Pennsylvania NW) are a once-a-week phenomenon. But 99% of them are ragtag groups.
These guys have been planning for weeks.

Time's running out!

b1-66er: "The Apple Watch Can Now Track Your Period"

Special K: 4 years later. 

b1: Don't let menopause ruin your joy.

Do you wanna touch me in my rhythm nation?

b1-66er: Janet Jackson looks suspiciously like Gary Glitter.

b1-67er: There's a little Tron meets bride of Frankenstein thing going on there.

66: Yeah there is.

And what's that pubic region all about?

67: It looks like she's ready for an "Escapade"

The city needs to get off his lawn

Sarcasmo: 

I saw that. Fake news. I don't care much for Austin. "Weird" not appealing to me, especially self-consciously weird. A glut of cookie-cutter indie bands in crappy bar. venues, too much alcohol, awful traffic, high housing and food prices, not walkable and barely bike-able. Full of hipsters trying too hard. Extreme weather, lots of bugs. Can't wait to leave.

You're not here

Zed:

I'm certain we need a smaller saw

Fembot: So I am sitting in the waiting room of the dermatologist office right now, where Fem2 is getting her lower eyelid skin cancer removed.  

There is a video

playing in the waiting room that shows all the procedures they do, including microdermabrasion.  There is elevator music overhead.  Pretty soon I notice the sound of a chainsaw, and they are showing a skin scraping procedure on the video.  

I am thinking "that is a pretty bad marketing to have sound on, on the procedure." Then I realize the guy across from me is watching a home improvement video on his phone, with the sound up.  

So it really WAS a chainsaw.

Maybe mezzo cocker?

b1-66er: Batman is 80 today.

Special K: Alta cocker.

b1: YOU CAN'T CALL ME THAT!

K: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
