If you have any feelings whatsoever about the, oh, let's call them discussions that are popping up all over the place in light of the Aurora shootings, I encourage you to read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sherwood21's post here about gun ownership and gun laws and all sorts of issues involved in such. bart_calendar has a good post about the same subject, here.
I am a gun owner. I own an assault rifle. We have multiple firearms in our house. I am not mentally unstable, prone to harming other people, or inclined to act out revenge fantasies. Neither are any of the other gun owners I know personally. If you are anti-gun, that's fine. I'm not going to argue this issue with anyone. You have a right to hate guns just like I have a right to like (and own) them. But I think it's important for sane, responsible, and liberal/progressive gun owners to be open and honest about owning firearms. So that's what I'm doing.
Progressive, pro-sex, pro-legalization, party girl, and gun owner. Right here.
And now, some scattershot:
I just found out about a show that BBC Four did in 2010: A History of Horror, hosted by Mark Gatiss. Well. I need to find a copy of this.
I found out about it after watching this clip on how to make good fake blood.
And I found that while reading this incredibly well-researched essay on how Sherlock beat Moriarty in The Reichenbach Fall. WOW, Y'ALL.
Just when I feel like my Tom Hiddleston Feels are waning a little bit, I come across something like this. What. What. What. What. What.
If you use Firefox, ctrl-shift-t will reopen the most recently closed browser tab/window. So if, like me, you often have a gazillion tabs open and always manage to close the wrong one, this is VERY GOOD INFORMATION. I think it might work with Chrome, too.
From the Transformative Works website comes this warning of a rootkit virus spread through YouTube links/embeds in comments.
