““If we, each doing our own part, if we do good to others, if we meet there, doing good, and we go slowly, gently, little by little, we will make that culture of encounter: we need that so much. We must meet one another doing good. ‘But I don’t believe, Father, I am an atheist!’ But do good: we will meet one another there.””

- Pope Francis

“The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.”

-
Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF, chiming in on the pronunciation of the word. (As everyone knows, choosy memes choose “jif.”) Wilhite, a former CompuServe employee, created the format in 1987 and is to receive an award for his creation tonight. (via shortformblog)

The Justice Scalia approach to the GIF debate: The original intent of the creator means we must pronounce it with a soft ‘G.’

The living Constitution/liberal approach: Screw originalism — pronounce it with a hard ‘G’ like the White House tumblr says.

The normal person approach: The ‘G’ is pronounced “GO AWAY, YOU NERDS.”

My Goodness...

Fifteen minutes until quitting time and I’m dutifully working on a memo for my boss. Researching complex technical statutory and regulatory provisions. Making structural inferences about exhaustion of agency review. Cross referencing various subsections to make sure I get everything just right.

It’s like… I’m really doing Administrative Law. Professionally. For money.

I think I love it?

That for approximately eighteen hours between yesterday afternoon and this morning, I had a moustache. It was dirty. It was glorious. I miss it already.

That is all.

“It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinizing, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and insensibly working, whenever and wherever opportunity offers, at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life. We see nothing of these slow changes in progress, until the hand of time has marked the long lapse of ages, and then so imperfect is our view into long past geological ages, that we see only that the forms of life are now different from what they formally were.”
