Sensors indicate a massive ball of white boiled grains shaped into a triangular form.

Data: "It appears to be a jelly donut."
Everyone looks at Data incredulously.
Data: "... my data banks indicate that this particular configuration of edible grains and maritime vegetation is commonly known as a "jelly donut". In the twentieth century animated television show called 'Sailor Moon', the characters frequently--"
Picard: "Thank you, Data. Let us investigate the phenomenon further, shall we?"

wired: Pride and Prejudice is about two characters overcoming their flaws and improving as people.

Reading this scene for the first time was an extremely influential and formative moment in my life.

I don't think this is too crowded, either, despite it being my maximum number of allowed panels.

my sense of pacing: excellent

my spacial sense: terrible

my ability to envision how things will look in my head: THE LITERAL WORST

I guess I could try something weird with the intro panels..... *does some copy/pasting*

Am I asking for an impossibility? Maybe! But I can *feel* the pacing I need here and I am refusing to give up on it!!

I want it to end on this one line for pacing reasons but while I can get these *three* panels into the bottom of the page just fine, but if I have the last two lines, I can't figure out where to put the extra panel-or-two I need for them. And I don't want to give up my beat panel, again for pacing reasons. Which means all I really have to work with is the one panel between the two introductory panels and the beat+dialogue pair of panels, in terms of reorganizing layout, and it's Not Enough.

uuugh I can't get the panel layout on this page the way I want it

*kicks in the door* Holmes is a good man! Your insitence on potraying him as a heartless jerk is unfounded!

"Laughter" is the group noun for "laugh", so "daughter" must be the group noun for "daugh".

although other bad things are happening in this world, please remember: new froggies have been discovered in madagascar! they are tiny! and they have been given the new genus name: Mini! and the new frog species are: M. ature, M. scule, and M. mum.

The three levels of Frankenstein understanding:

1) Frankenstein is the Doctor, not the monster.
2) Dr. Frankenstein IS the monster.
3) Not only is Dr. Frankenstein the monster, but since the Creature could be considered the Doctor's son, it's perfectly reasonable to call him "Frankenstein".

Oh hey, PonyORM is working on adding proper migrations support - and are running a fundraiser to that end. ponyorm.org/donation.html

I don't personally need migrations (so the lack of them wasn't an issue when I switched Publ to it) but PonyORM has such a great API and community.

The space rogue sneered over the space poker table. "Ha! The only thing in this world that I trust is my laser pistol."

"You need to work on those trust issues," piped up the laser pistol from under the table.

"I know," said the space rogue.

"You can't just rely on me. It's not healthy and you end up moody and withdrawn."

And just like that, the pre-gunfight lacuna got awkward.

subduction is when a sub takes the initiative for seduction, it occurs at a geologic pace and often results in volcanic eruptions.

I just saw the ExoComps episode of TNG this week and y'all robots are adorable
