Gomez Addams was one of my childhood role-models, for real. He was devoted to his wife and kids and always supportive of them. Morticia was smoking hot and he knew what he had with her and never took it for granted. He always supported his children's endeavors and praised them in their successes.
Many folks here know Eero (Simoncelli) - how many know about his sister Tania? She contributed to the remarkable effort of stopping this nonsense as an ACLU science advisor. (Now she facilitates the search of cures for rare diseases at CZI). Inspiring!

"I will grant you three wishes," the genie said.
"I want you to agree with me," the man said.
"Very clever!"
"I want you to stay with me."
"Gladly!"
"Give me what I ask for."
"I already have!"
The man asked for many things, and while he didn't get any of them, he had company and validation.

@oelayat Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa quote tweeting Dr. Naomi Wolf @naomirwolf I asked Al, "Can you wear a crop top for Iftar?" As Rama Duwaji is doing: Al Overview It is generally advised not to wear a crop top for Iftar. Ramadan is a time for modesty and respect, requiring covered shoulders and knees. Crop tops, which expose the midriff, are considered too revealing for traditional, public, or family Iftar gatherings. Opt for modest, loose, or flowing, comfortable clothing. It is super rude by the way, in observant Muslim norms, for the hostess to reveal her midriff at an Iftar celebration in the presence of men who are not her husband and in the presence of Mahmoud Khalil's wife, who is veiled as is far more religiously customary.

Your occasional reminder that if you teach Scientific Writing, or you're going to - so do I, and my syllabus and class materials are available here:
I have looked back at what I predicted in Stories of The Law and How Itβs Broken in 2018, about how governments will try to remove serious trials from juries and choke off the right to appeal.
All of this is now in the Bill before Parliament. Only the govt is going even further.

A black cat lies on a footstool against the radiator. You are looking at his behind which has caked mud in it.
Ramses vond het niet zo leuk dat ik hem in de gootsteen zette en zijn rug, achterpoten en staart onder de kraan hield. Maar hij liet zich wel afdrogen (Hij heeft een extra dikke vacht en is gewend dat ik hem afdrogen als hij in de regen heeft gewandeld).
Hij kwam binnen in gezelschap van zijn zusje Mayhem. Zijn achterkant zat helemaal vol modder, met een olieachtige smurrie erdoorheen. Er lijkt niets gebroken en hij heeft geen wonden gelukkig.
Ik heb het sterke vermoeden dat Ramses een van zijn 9 levens gisteravond ergens op straat heeft achtergelaten
