My family would have this show on the calendar to remember to watch it. It is now going on the calendar to remind us NOT to watch it. I hope the other singers have enough time to quit and remove their association. @MaskedSingerFOX

Congrats to the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of Washington Tacoma. (where I work) The Provost announced that we have been authorized to offer a PhD in Computer Science and Systems.
The "Orchid Diabolicus" is a real endangered flower that looks like it hosts a demon in the bloom. When I fictionalized the intent of the plant, my sister drew me a graphic of it. I couldn't put it in the book, but I like the image! #RorschachTestBook
