In its opinion, the appeals court said Georgia’s cancellation of the execution with questionable drugs instead showed that corrections officials "were cautious and took steps to avoid a substantial risk of serious harm."

The irony on this was delicious for me.

Some other good quotes from around the Internet recently:

So I’ve decided to start doing blog reviews of the official MLP series, which will eventually accompany my video reviews. Fair warning, this review assumes you have already seen the episode. Anyway…

So where to begin with this series?

What? Why? Why be like everyone else? I’m a positive reviewer, why should I start with what I hate?
(Sigh.)

I don't usually make these kinds of blogs detailing the death of a famous actor or person, but this is different.

Why am I still up? Maybe it's because i'm bored. Or it could be that I want to read, maybe it could be that i'm at my Father's house and I don't want to let my guard down because he always wakes me up with my dog, I guess we will never know...

Even after my warning and apprehension and stuff.
If you turn off mature, 'When The Bough Breaks' is in the featured box. I don't even know how that happened. I'm glad people are reading it though, that honestly makes me pretty happy.
To celebrate, I'll be having some fairly large quantity of wine tonight.
Yes, I know that's not different than any other night. Hush you.

Hello lovelies~

I'm still alive and just recently found a more stable living condition so I should be working at a faster clip on my fics. That's right. I've never stopped but I sure haven't been as industrious. Heck, I think I lost my editor/pre-reader's interest a few weeks ago after I shared a WIP chapter with him.

The Strange and Mystical Journey Through Celestia's Nostrils

Hopefully 2017 will be happy and meme filled. 2016 was sucky and meme filled.

This forest is dangerous. Some Pokémon are predators, and must kill to survive…but no Pokémon alive today could ever be as cruel and heartless as those humans ...

Merry Christmas~ Here is Taka's backstory.

So, I've had this concept reflecting around in my head for a while, though I'm not sure if it would bring an amusing bit of closure to people or just come off as a tad mean-spirited. Basically, I've been thinking of planning a sort of mass eulogy for the best fanfics posted to the site that never got finished, either by myself or with help from other interested parties (probably the latter, if I can gather interest). Because, well, there are a bunch of excellent works that authors just couldn't

I just learned, and you may not have heard about it yet, Stan Lee has passed away. Today has been a shocking one for me, and added to another shocking passing of one of my heroes this year. So I feel like saying and want to say a few words. Without Stan Lee's love and commitment to the comics and super heroes I grew up with, whether he created them himself or even just simply helped in some way, I would not be who I am today. Those morals and inspirational stories will be with me always. So to

On a topic close to my heart, Pennington Inkwell has suffered a traumatic event and tragedy that is best read in his own words.

Consider sending him a little something, even just a kind word.

Hey guys so just recently my dad came home from work early to tell me and my twin brother that our grandmother from our Mother’s side had passed away, the cause was both of old age and she was also in pain. My Mother and her two sisters were with her at the hospital so who knows what’s happening with them, my dad said that whilst sad she apparently had dementia so she probably wouldn’t be the same if we had gone to see her one more time and she was in pain so at least she can rest easy now.

Hi, everyone.

So, I just wanted to talk a little bit about my new anthology. I’m so glad you all liked Her Most Sacred Duty, and I’m super excited to share more of my work with you. A little back story: When I wrote HMSD, I honestly was not expecting it to become popular at all. You guys are the most wonderful, encouraging people, and I love that our fandom consists of so many passionate writers who are so kind and willing to help each other out.

Since it gets brought up a lot these days, I'd find it fascinating to know: how do these two viruses compare? Say, on death rates? What sort of numbers are we talking about here?

First, a few clarifications, and then the numbers themselves. Please note that all this is for casual purposes only: this is not an official analysis!
