I see people musing that the vibe here has changed, and I would urge people to remember that there's a lot of anxiety about the change of administration in two weeks and that's going to leak into a lot of other places in one's life. Be as gracious as you can with yourself and others.

Science-fiction is when there are several objects (called "machines" sometimes) which either work or don't work. Fantasy is when there is one object, and it is Of Destiny.
