    I think most of us can relate to a desperate bathroom situation. The fear is almost worse then the pain.

    Somebody wrote a novel, but plagiarized in it, so ended up not publishing it.
    The author then wrote an article about the plagiarism... and plagiarised somebody else in the process.
    Gone right?
    The person plagiarized in the article actually has good advice on how to not do this, and how the original author kept falling into the trap.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    It is run by a pretty cool dude as I remember. I got to meet him some years back. A bit weird in the best ways and very passionate. He gave out a bunch of free advice on Facebook back when I actually ever looked at that.

    Bad News: McDonald's to leave Russia.

    Good News: McDonald's to leave Russia.

    Sounds like the plan is to sell the buildings and let them operate as local restaurants without McD branding, etc.

    Ukraine was given as the reason, 62,000! employees will be affected, McD will continue to pay them until any sale is complete.

    A children's book fantasy land is laid-waste by concentrated apathy and ennui while a kid reading about said land is trying to make sense of the death of his mom and being shoved in lockers.

    I saw it for the first time when I was a little older. I remember nothing about it except
    1. kid reading in the attic
    2. what kind of dumb dragon has no wings and a dog face
    3. oh so this is Wizard of Oz style screwball fantasy where nothing makes any sense and everything in the magical wonderland is trying to kill and/or eat you
